By using 1) open services (that are intercepted!), 2) protocols like pop/imap/smtp and 3) custom client programs - users can embed strong encrypted content as normal payload themselves, embed encrypted messages in embedded pictures etc.
NSA can work as much they wish on this payload, there is no chance for them to get hold of the encryption keys users keep secret.
They do not know the methods used, they do not know the keys.
Sorry NSA, this is a loosing battle, you may catch a few dummies, the smart guys will always be ahead of you.
Terrorist organisations that we would like to catch have resources to do this, the dummies don't. The dummies we can live with.
NSA = Not Smart use of tAxpayers money?
