I suppose you're right, given that I'm not a Skype user,
nor a VoIP user in any way, shape, or form.  :-)

But I'll bet this will: http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgpfone/

Of course, it won't help with traffic analysis, but that's where
something like a Tor system would come in handy. :-)

Why would it do that?

Skype will be the people doing the eavesdropping for the government, not
users' sysadmins.  It won't make wiretapping any more difficult at all.
