This is not the right analogy.Curtains and blinds are more like sending someone a private message in these (unencrypted) forums instead of posting the same message in public. Encrypted communications are more like locking your car when you park it in a public place, to make it harder for someone else to take the car or whatever is in it. (And authentication to access your private accounts are like the lock on your door that prevents others from entering without your permission).
