The former president told Meet the Press he sends messages to foreign leaders via snail mail for fear his emails are being monitored by the National Security Agency.

“As a matter of fact, you know, I have felt that my own communications were 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,” he said “because I believe if I sent an e-mail, it will be monitored.”

Asked what he thinks of the NSA’s surveillance programs, Carter said they’ve been “extremely liberalized” and have “abused our own intelligence agencies.”
