Presumably, the NSA is searching emails for keywords indicative of "people of interest". Would we devalue their snooping by inserting random false positives into every message that is sent? Imagine the killer app that makes all emails look like they came from.... killers. I could see this turning into a perpetual arms race with privacy advocates rebuilding a keyword generator to get more false positives to flow through the filters that the NSA woul have to keep revamping.
