Sure....but that's a lot of encryption (good use of all this unused CPU
power out there). How easy is that to do on your phone (BB does this,
right?)? Can you hide tracking via your phone? Do I get to encrypt my
txts? Phone calls, emails (yes, but what about the other parties)? We
have a long way to go before we can be assured of private communications
again. If fact, after 9/11, it may never happen again. The government
has to protect us the badies and to do that, they need to listen
in...and if you are doing nothing wrong...you have nothing to worry
about...until you get on the wrong side of some future issue that isn't
important right now.
But yes, someone has to take it hard for the rest of us...before there
is any change of any hope. We should not have given up our liberties so
easily. We are weak sheep. Present company excepted, of course. :)

Anthony, there is an answer to point to point communications being
intercepted and archived: encryption.
Problem is its gonna take some high profile cases of people having
communication used against them and lots of evangelists promoting encryption
even in the face of government opposition before we'll start screaming for
point to point encryption on our communications.
