People would start transmitting terabytes of genuinely random data to
provide the NSA with something to do.

Um, funny that you mention it. I already do exactly this. I have set up scripts to send fake data that looks like encrypted goodies. I've been
doing it for years.
It is easy to set up several tor hidden services and have them talk to
each other with randomly-timed, random gibberish
I presume (and I hope) that I have wasted a lot of the spooks' time over
the years.

If it's distinguishable from random, it doesn't look like encrypted
goodies. And if it isn't, it doesn't look like anything.

Randomly re-opening an 18-month-old thread is easy too. That doesn't
mean it's bright.

They're not interested. If they want to know your secrets, they have
more cost-effective (and painful) techniques to find them out than
trying to decrypt your gibberish.
Do your comments here are add anything of value to the art of
cryptology?
Maybe visionaries like Elon Musk could give us such devices, in case
he would be interest in this huge market segment ...

And the parents of those everybodies knows Gore never claimed to
have invented the internet. What Gore did do is get congress to
subsidise the internet between the time it was a tool for
programmers using 1200 bps async or 9600 bps sync into the Mbps
commercial necessity used by much of the world's population.
Back when in the good old pre-Gore days the friendly internet
generally forbade commercial (ie for profit) use. Encryption
wasn't that important because money wasn't being transferred. In
the friendly days people included US mail addresses until the
unabomber started killing people with no discerned pattern or
motive.
If this would be not the case, what guaranties have U.S. citizens
that other parties, from overseas, are not capable of doing the
same to U.S. citizens?

NSA spies on the UK and shares with UK. GHQ spies on the US and
shares with the US.
