Faxes do have the small advantage of being sent directly. If I send an e-mail, it's hypothetically possible for one of those whackers to scan all the packets and reconstruct everything in it. Highly unlikely, from what I understand, but possible. Faxes can't be intercepted in such a fashion.

For organizations dealing with Protected Information, like social security numbers or medical files, this is very important.
