That's needed, but even then any random person who intercepts the cables can read your data. Or with WPA2-PSK, anybody with the password can read your data. So, treat HTTP as in the clear; it's likely someone's watching.

Tor has high latency, but the bandwidth is not that bad. CAPTCHAs only take 20 seconds per site. Other points are true.
