What possibly makes you think its only the government spying on you...

[lapfog_1]

there is a rule for politicians... always assume that every camera is recording and every microphone is hot.

It's a good rule for everyone. Turn off the location services, put the phone someplace where the camera and the mic cannot see or hear anything. And if you are really paranoid (because GPS isn't the only way the phone can locate you), leave the phone at home (just like your old wired phone... which, btw, could always be hacked to listen to people in the room).

I worry a *lot* more about business rivals, personal relationships (your spouse, friends or enemies, your boss), than I worry about the NSA.
