Yet another reason why we should develop a system where all Internet
communications can be easily encrypted, whether it's email, VoIP, or
whatever. It's not like it's horribly difficult now in some cases, but
it does have its difficulties when it comes to implementation on a large
scale.

Yes -- especially if people rely on wiretap-enabled certificates from their 
ISPs....
