House Votes to Limit N.S.A.’s Collection of Phone Data
By JONATHAN WEISMANMAY 22, 2014
WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to rein in the National
Security Agency’s sweeping collection of telephone records, approving
legislation that sharply divided technology advocates and civil libertarians

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
