Can you imagine?? I'm simply not willing to fool myself into thinking that I ahve security by posting a key and using PGP.

Unless you can post some proof that PGP is insecure, stop insisting it is.

Hold on a minute. Alice is, here, 100% correct. If I use PGP to read messages and there's a videocamera trained on the keyboard, and other people have access to the machine, PGP is not secure. Similarly, if PGP is on a computer which other people may use without my supervision, they can monitor keystrokes, etc. and PGP is not secure. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link; Alice recognizes this, and makes no claim that PGP itself is the weak link. The weak link is the physical security of the system which Alice claims to use.
