Whoa.
These are two completely separate issues. I concur with you whole-heartedly; if you have something to keep private or something that is sensitive, protect it. That is your right, it is legal, and you should do it. I do.
But that DOES NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, in any way make it OK for the USG to ignore the fourth amendment. I should not have to "hamper traffic analysis" that is analyzing my traffic illegally. That is the bigger point here.

You mean, "Everything else is for the people who are OK with being snooped on by the government."

Fair enough, but I think we all know what I am talking about.
