What I find surprising is that insecure email and wireless had existed for quite some time before this. Almost all IMAP/POP/Gmail used to flow over regular HTTP. It is only recently (read, last year) that a lot of major email traffic has been https-ified.

Why suddenly jump on FB, Twitter etc with self-righteous anger when many of these same geeks were using insecure email until less than a year ago?
