I would say that is more of a network issue than a Skype issue. For
that matter, any open source client would be easier to eavesdrop on.
Furthermore, if you are downloading your open source client over the
network, how do you know that the binary was not tampered with?
MD5SUM? Ha!

No matter what technology you use, assume always that you are being
eavesdropped on. The enemy is listening- whether you are using VOIP,
email, or chat, and whether the enemy is Hamas or your own government.
