Indeed. Which means that it's time to start investing in onion routers, and making sure that an infrastructure of onion routers is maintained that the government cannot get rid of - offshore would be a good place to locate 'em.
Just for the uninitiated, an onion routing is:
"a flexible communications infrastructure that is resistant to both eavesdropping and traffic analysis. Onion routing accomplishes this goal by separating identification from routing. Connections are always anonymous, although communication need not be. Communication may be made anonymous by removing identifying information from the data stream. Onion routing can be used by a variety of unmodified Internet applications by means of proxies (non-invasive procedure) or by modifying the network protocol stack on a machine to be connected to the network (moderate or highly-invasive procedure)."
