Heh, as odd as it is, I have nothing really to fear from the NSA, I don't hang out with the likes of UBL or Kim Jong Il, however my dealings over the years with a number of civilian cryptographers ensure I have a very chunky file someplace.

I have been aware of Echelon network about 1996 and Nicky Hager's book. For shits and giggles I used to include this plaintext...

Hello to my friends and fans in domestic surveillance!

...with all my PGP encrypted mail.

Just remember, strong cryptography makes the world a safer place!
