I can't really think of how one gets around that link. I'm not sure what you mean.

  The point is that noone should act surprised because the laws already demand that communications can be intercepted and read. Of course that excludes GPG (or pasting encrypted text into your skype chat). And that is only true as long as your law enforcement doesn't have you on surveillance. Or unless you can be 100% sure that the NSA really really really can't crack your encryption. And even Bruce Schneier isn't sure about that: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2012/03/can_the_nsa_bre.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2012/03/can_the_nsa_b...

    It really depends on what you're doing. The NSA doing something like breaking GPG/PGP encryption would be like breaking the Enigma during WW2. You don't want to tip your hand to your opponents that you can read their communications. IIRC, the Allies sometimes had to not act on information that could save lives because those actions would reveal how much they knew to the Axis powers. So basically you only end up acting on really valuable information.
