Skype

I don't use Skype for encryption as I have nothing to worry about needing to keep secret, I use it for unlimited outbound phone calls for $8 a quarter. That said, what is wrong with the Germans?

Yeah, it is no secret that Skype phone calls are encrypted. Why announce to every terrorist in the world that you tried and can't break that encryption? The police also know that a hammer is an easy way to open a window, but they don't go around talking about it much.

The Germans should learn to STFU. I am going to be watching my online user count in Skype for the next couple of days. I'll bet the number goes up.

How about because the German spy agencies have learned to decrypt Skype and hope the terrorists believe the police news release?
