It may be ridiculous but it's a fact of life that the average person needs to adapt to.

User has absolutely no defense against NSA snooping: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3sf8xx/im_bill_binney_former_nsa_tech_director_worked/
Even tor and ssl aren't always secure, e.g.: http://www.thoughtcrime.org/software/sslstrip/
FBI allegedly paid university 1 million dollars for an in-between attack on the tor infrastructures: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/did-fbi-pay-university-attack-tor-users
