So it seems that - as the opening of your fine page suggests, it might be
"back to the future"; i.e.,

...One of the earliest versions of PGP, 2.6, is still highly regarded...

 From what I know, 2.6.3ia-multi06 would be the version of choice.
In contrast to USB drives, "in nasty places" the old floppy has one very
important advantage: it is the only r/w medium cheap enough to make practical
protocols which call for copies of both the software and the data to be
destroyed after each use. I was wondering if your proposition that [2.6]'s
"...cryptographic security has been in doubt for some time now..." really
applies to 2.6.3ia-multi06? (compatibility with the current crop of
PGPGs aside).
