I'm totally willing to accept being wrong and own up to that. Can you let me know me where I've misspoken, though?
To continue on what I said above,
* One can always increase the size of the key. There's no stopping that. The fact that they can intercept and understand the bulk of communication currently is only due to the fact that we're largely not using encryption. (The idea being, they can collect huge amounts of encrypted information and years down the line decrypt it with supercomputers... But we can always generate larger keys and increase the difficulty by an order of magnitude. It is much easier to generate keys than it is to guess them.)
Not that it's necessary. We have sufficiently large keys already. We just have to start encrypting. [1]
* The NSA has difficulty with GPG and Tor. [2]
