>We put doors on restrooms. Claiming that unencrypted email should carry a legitimate expectation of privacy is like claiming that people should expect privacy when they go to the bathroom on the side of the highway. People may want their email to be private, but that does not mean that we should pretend that email really is private.
Why not? It's just a law away for this to happen.
We can fully well pretend that email really is private.
It doesn't matter if it is technically private (ie if someone can access it or not). What matters is for accessing it to be illegal.
