OK, riddle me this, Batman.

Do you send EVERYTHING on postcards? Because that's what unencrypted HTTP is, essentially. With an envelope of encryption, the contents of your postcard cannot be sure to be the same as that which you originally sent. Things can be inserted, removed, or altered, and there is no way you can stop it because it all happens in transit.
