Apply that logic to passwords, which are being sent in plain text here. By his logic, you should have no password protected data, lest anyone know about it. Strictly he's correct: it's stupid to assume anything will remain secret, particularly if you don't keep it to yourself. Schmidt, motorola, google, public wifi, can they keep secrets?
