Its like you have to abandon USA based encryptation systems that are
closed source. But I dunno, maybe open source solutions can have
problems.

I think the encryptation world will think about this, and will
recommend a group of products (like PGP) that are almost sure safe.
The NSA can spy on underwater internet cables, but they can't abolish
Math. If you have a encryptation system that is not backdoored and is
cryptographically strong enough the NSA or anyone will have a hard
time to uncover your secrets.
