maybe your not aware but skype is a p2p tool, servers just exists for the directory, or the gates .. so wiretapping is just possible on the gate while calling a PSTN partitiant. but as we allready heard most using skype, the possibility of badmans communication will stay P2P
to confuse the wiretapping system, say in every conversation a bunch of triggerwords like: C4, bomb, nuclear, gaz, dynamite, cäsium, blow up... or whatever getting in your mind.

You don't use Cisco's or Junipers? How do you use the Internet actually?
It's a very different matter if a client is wired to use some specific server of some company to initiate communication, and uses a closed protocol too. For all I know this is like re-routing my communication trough skypes servers so they can wiretap it.
