Some people say longer keys are silly. I think they should be supported by gpg.

Sorry, I did not mean it to sound that way. I have worked with people
that when they forget to take their medication are absolutely paranoid
beyond belief. You have no doubt heard the phase, "Only sick people
take drugs; therefore, if I don't take drugs I am not sick." Many
paranoid, schizophrenics rationalize skipping their medication on just
that sort of logic. What really amazed me though was that the OP wants
security and yet he uses GMail. "GMail" and "security" are
diametrically opposed concepts.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to put new aluminum foil up on my
windows.
