It depends how much scared will become the politicians and decision makers
in Washington DC and Brussels from the latest publicly revealed security
backdoors of Skype.

For what?  Skype has kept chat logs for years, and the government routinely
subpoenas them.  I was a technical expert in a pump and dump spam trial last
fall, and a large part of the evidence was Skype chat logs among the members
of the spamming group.

Also keep in mind that Microsoft bought Skype from eBay, so there is nothing
new about it being owned by a U.S. company.
