Just don't. No pussyfootin' around. Every single person the US has access to is a possible "suspect" for anything it claims.
Act like it, citizens. Protect yourself, then help others to do likewise.✊🏼
So tired of the "if you're not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to hide" and "if you care too much about privacy, then you seem suspicious" lines.
People have given away their own data security little by little, and the surveillance state is already cooked into most of our hardware. I've raised a fuss about it all along the way, and people always thought I was some weirdo doomsday conspiracy theorist, or hiding something on my hard drives...
