It's like the XKCD cartoon.[1] The best crypto can be defeated by a wrench and a guy willing to hit you with it. Or more likely, by passing laws requiring all the major companies of the world to give the government access to the servers whenever they wish. Or by building backdoors into routers that allow them into networks.
The way to defeat good crypto is to go around it.
