Former President Carter Fears NSA Monitoring

Daniel 12:4 NLT “But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase."

Not even a former President can avoid the NSA.

Former President Jimmy Carter told NBC’s Meet The Press that he avoids using electronic means of communications because he is suspicious that the NSA would spy on him.  He said that if he wants to correspond with anyone, especially a foreign leader, he hand-writes a message and then sends it via snail mail.

“I have felt that my own communications are probably monitored,” President Carter said.  “I believe if I send an e-mail, it will be monitored.”

Carter also took issue with the use of electronic surveillance by the NSA and the use of drones by intelligence services.  Carter said the policies regarding the use of those spy planes “has been extremely liberalized” and he added that he believes intelligence services have abused the tools that had been given to them.
