Those calling for further and more advanced encryption from the end user are missing the point. The point is that the Federal government has no Constitutional authority to do these things and in point of disgusting fact are doing so in complete violation of the bill of rights.
The solution is not to better encrypt passwords, IP addresses and emails, it is, to demand the immediate dismantling of agencies who are operating unlawfully and illegally.
Sounds daunting? It's not. If only 10 million Americans bombarded their reps, county sheriff's office and senators about this issue and fully followed through, we could stop this insanity. Public outcry, outrage and threat of action goes along way but there is a big difference between thousands and millions of people.
This sort of behavior is increasing at such an alarming rate, is there anyone left that would dare say we can not compare our current level of government and laws to those of Nazi Germany during the transitional takeover of the country?
I would love to debate the merits of oh, so many ways it is a mirror image, almost exactly following in the totalitarian footprints of the worst travesty of a political party to ever walk the Earth.

See I'm just not devious enough to think of that.

this is why term limits would be a good thing.

your passwords in this forum could have probably been handed over as well, although just speculation, so tread lightly. getting to the point where i'm close to resigning my internet activity all together, it's just not safe anywhere, including here possibly...
our corrupt government will stop at nothing to destroy everything our forefathers stood for, they want everything now.
What good would them getting our passwords do? They can see our posts without a password. And I'm quite sure they could use a back door anyway.

FYI.
No website worth their salt ever stores password in the clear.
Even Microsofts ASP.Net login system hashes and salts the password.
Now they could certainly ask for the hashes and salts and guess the hash of the password using rainbow tables and multi gpu servers.
This is why it's a good idea to have different passwords for different websites.
