Don't we have to trust our leaders to be able to tell the difference
between private and official communications? I'm sure the Hansard
stenographers don't follow minsters into the loos on the off-chance that
they might meet a colleague in there and have an impromptu conversation.
It does occur to me though that if one wanted to intercept private
communications a great way to start would be to fund a startup that
advertised 'encrypted', 'completely private' messaging, build a back
door into it and then wait.
Maybe I'm just too cynical.
