You need to encrypt everything now if you want any privacy. If you want to say thanks, thank the government for being such sleezeballs that we soon will all be tech geniuses cable of encrypting everything from cellphone signals, to muffin recipes on our hard drives.
This problem could easily be solved by dismantling the FBI. It would send such a strong message to all government agencies that no one would try this shit again. No agency would risk its existence by breaking wiretapping laws again. No agent or manager would dare risk his career breaking that law.
Then, after a few years, create a new organization with new people to fulfill the role of the FBI. You'll get better people, a better system, and better results, and all without the lawlessness.
