Too see how much our Government understands the problem, the Minister of Communication asked the "Correios" to build the secure email system, "Correios" is the Brazilian equivalent of USPS.

There are dozen more qualified departments to work on this, and the incredible idea is to build an encryption and certification for email text, they never heard of OpenPGP.

It looks like he really thinks because it´s email(electronic mail) gasp the postal services should handle this.
