Both are normal if you work with information you wouldn't like to leak. Or something very personal.
They are that thing you said only if they are unusual for the circumstance. When that gives information that a person did something not normal.
Because that's a sign of something, kinda similar to shaking hands and missing shovel and sudden lack of time for guests.
Encrypting everything on Internet-connected machines is not unusual. It's perfectly normal. It's f* obligatory.
Because that's almost jamming, if everyone could broadcast all they can, nobody could use those frequencies. And since you have to make space there, private transmissions probably belong somewhere else. Doesn't matter when using wire. This is irrelevant to encryption.
No it doesn't. Even if someone suddenly started encrypting everything, no. Maybe they learned how the world works and decided to learn to do it just in case.
