I'm beginning to think that we need a good fake crypto program that generates nothing but bogus messages built from random numbers, to inject undecipherable garbage into the NSA's datastream and force them to waste time and resources on trying to crack it. Maybe use some kind of daemon that monitors inbound email, identifies its own "kind" of message, strips them out of the user's feed so they don't litter his inbox, and responds after a human-length interval with another random message. It could occasionally fire off a message to a random email address, or maybe one from a list of known other users, and fake a conversation for a while. Or even fake other kinds of traffic...
