> Yeah, let's start feeding our mail, ftp, ntp, and everything else over HTTPS as well now we're at it!

Holy crud, this is practically the most basic principle in security. If you don't want somebody to read it, encrypt it. This is exactly why we don't use email, unencrypted ftp, or SMS for anything that needs security or privacy. Don't send important information over plaintext!!
