This might be the most pertinent thing he has ever said. But when he says "If you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier.", it is not entirely safe, one still need encryption because mail can be intercepted.

Yeah when it comes to what the NSA may have, maybe no private key is uncrackable. But sending things on paper, even if you use a cypher like the Masons, multiple people have to know it for it to work, so its like having a private key that is used by multiple people, also any cypher on paper would be trivial for the NSA or other foreign NSA equivalents to crack, even easier than a private key.

You are right. So keep the computers off the network and send an encrypted flash drive with a key ? The latency will go through the roof but the bandwidth might be acceptable

NB: I know that computers off the network can still leak information
