All Postal mail is photographed on both the front, and back side.
All phone calls are recorded; all email, text messages, contacts in your electronic devices, all credit card and ALL other financial transactions, all travel plans are recorded by NSA. Even though your cell phone is turned off, it is still a microphone and NSA can listen while you talk to your wife, or dog in the privacy of your home.

Lucy, read my post again. Did I refer to anything electronic or digital? Pay phones (if any exist anymore) are public, and even if the calls are recorded, one of the parties is not easily identified unless the conversation leaves clues. Meeting someone in the park is not exactly modern communications technology. Paying with cash is not the same as paying with credit/debit cards.
You are not incorrect, but I think you missed my original point.
