"The only way we as American citizens are going to beat easy-to-use wiretapping is easy-to-use user level data/voice encryption."

In fact, CALEA specifically addresses the issue.

(3) ENCRYPTION- A telecommunications carrier shall not be responsible for decrypting, or ensuring the government's ability to decrypt, any communication encrypted by a subscriber or customer, unless the encryption was provided by the carrier and the carrier possesses the information necessary to decrypt the communication.
