As private citizens I do not think that we need to resort to having to use encryption methods in all of our emails.

Why put letters in sealed envelopes?

Yes, the government can read those letters anyway, but it takes more WORK to do so. Enough work that unless they have good cause, they won't bother.

But we send our email all in the open, so that it's easy to scan most of it for interesting phrases. If everyone used crypto on their email, then they would only have time to look at stuff that they had a REASON to look at.
