Life imitates art - or is it the other way around in this case?

I wonder how long it will be before the creative guys (and gals) who made this

Weeks... I'm guessing weeks - at most.

We use a less robust SPX system for those because it was the best compromise which I could find between security and ease of use (because sender and recipient buy in is most essential).  I am sure there is some back door for not only the NSA, but other government agencies. So what does that say about the efficacy of HIPAA?
