The cat is out of the bag now. There are enough bad actors in the world to assume that monitoring will continue indefinitely regardless of what the NSA does. This threat can only be mitigated by developing new protocols and technology. The sad thing is that the NSA could have helped society secure itself years ago. Instead they left vulnerabilities unpatched and the public open to attack.
