Even if packages were signed and I could verify all of them, I still don't think it's the NSA's business which packages I've requested from ELPA. It would be nice if ELPA were available over TLS to provide both an additional level of security, and to provide an interim solution while we are waiting for package signing.

AFAIK you can already use "https://..." addresses. This should work for
the GNU ELPA server, at least.

All GNU ELPA packages are signed and Emacs-24.5 does check them if you
have GPG installed.

Okay, I was sure I'd hit https://elpa.gnu.org and it was a connection error before I posted this bug. I just did again and it worked, so... I must have been in error.

Thanks also for this bit of information. It should probably require that GPG be installed if package.el is to be used then, but that is a separate issue.
Sorry for the bogus report!
