My guess is that all of us using any sort of extra measures, such as
encryption, are definitely on the NSA books.
One can imagine a Linux distribution that is purpose-built for
Lavabit-like e-mail, but easy to install and maintain, like Tor is.
Individuals could run it on home systems. That way, victims of the
PRISM program would know when it happened because the FBI would have to
come to their house to take their stuff. When they insisted on the
keys, they could be cheerfully provided -- in my case showing them the
whole gamut of pictures of my dogs and my many open source build
trees! Perhaps RAID 1 or similar so that they can take half the
drives, but you can continue to work. I guess they are sort of
humorless and would want to take the whole thing. Oh well.
