If they can't decrypt what you do without going to you and asking you for the keys (or throwing you in jail) then I would say it -is- a major pain for them. Remember we're talking about an agency who routinely targets one person in the hope to find dirt on others.

On the other hand, the NSA is all about spying. If they can't encrypt their data and keep it secret, they can never get the upper hand.
