    Yah, it's pretty silly.  People have been logging IRC sessions and

    any expectation of privacy on IRC.

Some organizations in many nations have been logging everything possible anyway, and putting them in archives for ~ever. Strong cryptography with trusted software is the only way to go now, and even trusted software is a bit scary. And if you've upset the government enough that a warrant is issued, any amount of their impressive technology will completely side-step the cryptography anyway - e.g. tempest emissions or a surprise seizure of belongings. I'd like to be able to pretend that's only used for the "Bad guys".
