I don't use a proxy or forwarding server anonymizer, I suspect that if they're not outright .gov owned, then .gov SURE AS HELL is monitoring incoming and outgoing traffic through those things and is most likely able to re-construct the complete transmission path if they want/need to.

I've had the same thoughts about the encryption programs like Gonzo mentioned above. They give you a key. What's to say they don't keep a copy of the key for themselves or for the "authorities"? Also, when you get the file and open it with your key, I'll bet they can take a screen shot of it without you knowing it, thereby circumventing the need for them to even have a key. In short, there is no way to have private communication on the internet, so watch what you say.
