Well in reality, defense grade encryption is available to anyone with half a brain, as long as they know to look for it. They can sniff all the packets they want, and if appropriate measures are taken( RSA 2034-Bit Encryption, or adopt OpenSSL for all your security needs), very little can be done. However, where the government screws up is the pattern detection, which can easily be defeated by using an anonymous VPN which is available for much less than 10$ a month, which can be used for all of your illegal endeavors. If they are sniffing right at peoples specific internet connection, they will probably need a warrant for that already.

Geez! Don't want to start a rant...so anyway...
For those of us who know how to protect our privacy from the evil empire lets encourage and educate those around us to get a clue, so that the FBI and the like can SNIFF ALL THE PACKETS THEY WANT and all we do is LAUGH AT THEM!!!
