Re: Idiots!

Only if you can install an SSL certificate on the client, or have a root SSL signing authority's keys.

While Gov access to a friendly root CA's signing key (or mandating of installation of a 'Gov approved' root certificate) might be possible, mechanisms like SSL certificate pinning (HPKP) and NameCoin (http://www.namecoin.info/) would still leave websites broken where deployed.
