Former US president Jimmy Carter has admitted he uses snail mail to evade monitoring by the National Security Agency and that he feels such surveillance methods have been abused.
"When I want to communicate with a foreign leader privately, I type or write a letter myself, put it in the post office, and mail it," Carter said with a laugh, as he was questioned on the matter on NBC's "Meet the Press" program.
"I have felt that my own communications are probably monitored," he said on the Sunday show.

Stupid, like that makes a difference once they see who it is addressed to.
The Post Office is reading your snail mail...
Somebody might want to inform him that its no protection. There is plenty of technology that can read without opening.
What is Jimmy doing to be so worried ?
I wonder how well that will work?
I always thought Jimmy was the Manchurian candidate... Turns out it was Obama, so the NSA has no need to check on Jimmy’s mail, snail or otherwise.
Don`t flatter yourself JIMMAH, nobody cares what you have to say. nobody!
Mr Carter.....A dead drop site is much more secure.
But it is a very clever response by the ol’ Peanut Farmer, and surely protects all the highly sensitive comments he has to deliver to all the other Important People all over the world.
Jimmy Carter - a legend in his own mind. Now the second-worst President ever.
After all, Jimmy only gave away the Panama Canal, now the Current Occupant is trying to give away the Internet.
Or was he wistful and sad, perhaps even envious, that he didn't have the technology to do the same thing in his day?
There are scanners that the NSA uses to scan mail. No need to open the envelope.
And he has to correspond with a foreign leader for what?
Stupid does not realize that every piece of mail is photographed and tracked.
If the traditions and Honor Code of the Naval Academy - and all service academies - had not been torn asunder by its accession to homosexuality, Carter would be their biggest embarrassment.
Why hasn’t someone ‘accidently’ dumped a load of lumber on this commie bastard?
To satisfy his delusions of his own importance.
I'm reasonably sure that in capitals worldwide, there is some low level public functionary who is being punished for some infraction. He is required to politely answer the endless stream of mailed demands and suggestions from brain crippled American Democrats, all of whom are sublimely sure of their own intellect.
Carter's missives get special handling, and are passed around to amuse the others in the office.
Good point. And yes, he is delusional.
Dear Lusty,
One might also train amphibious attack bunny counterintelligence agents to intercept NSA spooks.
Just a thought.
