Defense Messaging System is supposedly going to use Skipjack, so I assume it's reasonably secure - and if there *are* NSA-only backdoors in the algorithm, at least they won't be admitting it to your neighbor hood cops and FBI wiretappers, so you'd have to be an *interesting* suspect to get cracked. Not only that, there have been too many spies found in the various intelligence agencies for them to risk such a thing.
