2. I Doubt It
Skype advertises 256-bit encryption. Nearly impossible to break. If NSA's reading it, Zennstrom is gonna be one embarrassed Swede. I'm sure that they're trying, though.

The best-reviewed one is Linksys. I think that you can get it through Skype, but here's the review: http://us.gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/linksys-cit200-skype-phone-verdict-loaded-130269.php

Also, Dualphone has one that's dual-mode, so you can keep your landline and talk on long-distance through Skype: http://dualphone.net/Default.aspx?ID=474

4. ha
The NSA can destroy a 256 bit encryption through brute force or mathematical methods. Skype traffic can be mirrored, stored, decrypted, transcripted, and indexed by a machine.


If NSA is reading it they will never tell anyone. Anyone who discloses the NSA's operational capability is committing espionage and should be jailed.
