If you resent the NSA reading all your messages would you use a legal method to defeat their snooping?

The National Security Agency (NSA) is now violating its original mandate to check foreign communications for signs of threats to the USA. Under the PRISM program, they have admitted that all our texts, e-mails and tweets are now routinely read and checked. I don’t believe I am the only one who feels this is an egregious violation of our privacy and rights. Every e-mail allows for a signature, a short body of text that is automatically added to every message you send. The NSA has a list of words it uses to flag your messages as a threat to national security. If all of us were to use a string of such words to every totally harmless message, the NSA scanning would grind to a halt, overloaded by its own illegally of scanning domestic messages. The NSA requires a judicial warrant before reading or scanning your messages. If I prepare such a signature full of key words in some meaningless random order for everyone to add to all their messages, how many of you would want to use and share it with everyone you know so they could use it also? For me, its about reclaiming your *freedom of speech and protecting yourself from illegal search? . The US constitution protects these rights! Many other countries also guarantee such rights.
