i don't know about this.  "encryption will do no good with big
brother".  do you mean that uncle sam can crack my encryption or that he
will use another method to get the my key (key logger, informant, club
to head, ect.)?  if you mean that the possibility exists that he can
crack it (time, resources) then ok.  if you mean that an algorithm exist
that can crack my GPG like my nephew with a candy wrapper, i must ask,
how do you know?
