Jimmy Carter Is Pretty Sure The NSA Is Spying On His Email

In an interview with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell airing during Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” Carter said he favors snail mail when communicating with foreign officials.

“[The justification for surveillance] has been extremely liberalized and, I think, abused by our own intelligence agencies,” Carter told Mitchell. “As a matter of fact, you know, I have felt that my own communications are probably monitored. And when I want to communicate with a foreign leader privately, I type or write the letter myself, put it in the post office, and mail it.”

“Old fashioned snail mail,” Mitchell said.

“Yeah. Because I believe if I send an email it will be monitored,” he said.
