I've always assumed anything I ever put on the internet, no matter
encrypted or not, was viewable by the US government IF they thought it
was worth their time and computing resources.
I'd like to point out that you're all-caps conditional leads to a
meaningful statement while the phrase in all caps you're responding to
does not.
For example-- should person "a" use software "b" to make it somewhere
between "c" and "d" times more difficult for a third-party to read
message "x"? Your sentence with the conditional could actually get that
person close to an answer since it implies they can try to measure the
work it'd take to break the security. At best the all-caps OP provides
no help at all. At worst it short-circuits any further reflection--
after all, IT'S ALL BEING SPIED ON ANYWAY.
