Ummm... no. If you really want to enlist the services of the best in the field, talk to some folks at ISS (now owned by IBM) about they your threat assessment needs. I've known a couple of guys there for a *long* time, and I can assure you that they are among the absolute best in the industry at penetration testing and forensic analysis.
Sounds like a golden opportunity for someone in a crypto-friendly jurisdiction to set up something akin to what HushMail used to be (before they were compromised by U.S. authorities). I can't be bothered to get such a beast started myself; have at it.
Ummm... change the SMTP-TLS port on your remote mail server to something other than the standard?
BTW, I use residential cable for at the house for Internet access, and have no issues sending encrypted mail to my server across the country. Generally, only the standard port (25) is blocked.
The parent post does skip over one important issue, however: in GB, you can be compelled to hand over your encryption keys or face jail time simply for failing to do so. P-O-L-I-C-E S-T-A-T-E.
William Gibson would be more the type to predict his own death.

Somebody mod parent troll. I didn't always agree with Roland's editorial habits, but I enjoyed many of his stories. The man was quite an accomplished individual, as many would realize if they took the time to learn a bit about his life. There's more to the Web than Slashdot.
Right... so when your org decides to move to a new version control system, or the codebase becomes part of a larger project used by other orgs with different version control setups, your code will be so marvelously clear. I'm keeping comments in the code.
If you engaged your brain you wouldn't post comments that completely miss the point. Posting from a Linux workstation that happens to have a couple of NTFS partitions mounted.
Why was the parent post modded flamebait? Honest question, on topic, politely put... maybe it was just the shock of seeing such adherence to policy on Slashdot that caused the mods to go into an epileptic fit and click the wrong mod option...
Generic power supplies are an awful plague upon our fair world. Why, just last week I was using my homebrew PSU rack to power my uncle's hospice life support system. Now I'm going to his funeral this weekend. Tragic, just tragic...
As an active duty submariner in the U.S. Navy, I'd hope our clearance and personnel monitoring processes would nip most of these issues in the bud... but as they say, it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch.

I lack mod points today; somebody please apply a "+1 Insightful" to parent post.
Move over Miss Cleo, we've got a rising star in the world of fortunetelling :).
Right, ZDNet just goes and makes shit like this up for kicks. You fail.

FWIW, I'd give that a +1 Funny :). Been in your shoes, bud.

You're fired.

Yes.
Actually, the bandwidth is great... it's the latency that poses a problem.
I'm perfectly normal, and I fold proteins all the time.
Major back-pay is coming their way for this.
More likely, major pay is going to the attorneys who handle this on a class action basis, and a few cents are going to participating employees.
I am not worthy.
Your POTS isn't delivering five nines worth of uptime. You just aren't on the phone 24x7, so you don't notice.
I've got a couple of decades of experience with AT&T systems. Oh, and I'm a programmer.
Yes. We live in a nation that takes no offense to the United Negro College Fund; why is the term "white boy" unacceptable in a song lyric?
I'm gonna lay down the boogie and play that funky music till I die, by the way.
