Actually, when it comes to privacy, the bigger concern is snooping by private enterprises. Sure, the gov will collect all they can, but it's pretty long odds they would use it, unless I were to do something to threaten or piss off those in power. Besides the gov is so inept, they usually can't find their ass with both hands.
Big corporations on the other hand, are in competition for my money. The more information they have about me, the easier it becomes to take advantage.

My home has curtains on the windows that can be closed. My computers and phones have the cameras covered, and loaded jacks inserted in the headphone receptacle to disable the internal microphones.

A bit paranoid?

No Farraday cage and it's all useless.

Maybe it's paranoid. I know people who can't go to bed without unplugging every appliance in the house for fear of fire, so everything is relative I suppose.
To me, a bit of inconvenience is worth it, gives me peace of mind.
Maybe that's why I like vintage electronics. I know no one but me controls it.

Same here. And I once had my identity stolen. By the time Navy Federal caught it, some pervert in England had run up $1,400 at an "adult novelty shop" in London. The bank made my account whole again, so I really didn't lose anything. And, I still don't worry about it. At least someone got to have naughty fun with my money

To me no inconvenience is worth being a paranoid spasmodic. IMHO, the very state of said paranoid spasmosis is anti-peace of mind in itself. Heck, I've driven off to work and left the front door standing open. If you saw where I live, and spent a Saturday night listening to the sirens and gunshots, you'd shit yourself at the thought of that. To me it's just another day in the life.

But, to each his own. Hide behind the penguins with your guns in Alaska with masking tape over your webcam if that's what spins your wheels. I get a perverse charge out of wondering if the NSA is watching me watch internet porn. LOL! If nothing puts an end to their nosiness, THAT will.
