Decreeing that governments should not try to infiltrate their citizen's (and not only their) privacy is like decreeing that terrorists should not possess explosives. The point is, if they'd find a possibility to do that, they still will do whatever's in their interests.

IMHO, the only reasonable option is to embrace the inevitable and explicitly allow any wiretapping (on any level, for anyone just because they can - not only for TLAs and law enforcement; with a several year of grace period, so the everyone could prepare themselves) and force the world to secure their communications and not rely on promises that nobody would peek at them.
