Because everyone else is so stupid? Do you mean that law enforcement is 
going to monitor our communications, and it will be done one of two ways:
1. cheap and easy, by wiretap standards on telecom and net
2. expensive and difficult, by sending in microphones into homes, etc.

and you actually think that IF the government is going to monitor 
communications, #1 is better?

If they are going to monitor communications, I prefer it to be as 
expensive, customized and difficult as possible, so as to provide a 
retarding of it that law enforcement's view of its own boundaries, does not.
