Does she not realise that the ISPs can't intercept most internet communications? Doing nothing is the only sensible option, unless Mrs Smith has had a breakthrough in cryptanalysis, or plans to ban encryption.
Some examples of secure (AFAIK) communications: Facebook, MSN, many emails (e.g. gmail-gmail emails, emails to foreigners, etc).
What is the point of spending £2bn on a system that can merely say: "Fred used gmail on Friday from 12-3pm and used facebook from 6-7pm"?
