I think there was such a ruling a long time ago, but it certainly isn't the
case now. Stupid laws have been passed to make people feel more secure
about their communications. People seem to think that laws against snooping
on communications make their communications secure. The US government doesn't
want people to have secure communications so they need to make people feel
safe, otherwise they might demand communication devices using secure end to
end encryption.
