Are communications generally encrypted? It would be unwise to encrypt it, since it would be a dead giveaway that they were doing something they wanted to hide from the government; there's also little doubt in my mind that the NSA has some very skilled cryptoanalysts.

Yes, there is a great deal (TONS) of encrypted traffic flying around.  Not so much through phones, but email and instant messengers are quite frequently encrypted. 

Obviously the NSA has some skilled cryptoanalysts, but it's still infeasible to break good encryptions.  It's not likely that they have a secret way.
