Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter speaks during the news conference in Yangon September 26, 2013.
'As a matter of fact, you know, I have felt that my own communications are probably monitored,' Carter told NBC's 'Meet the Press' in an interview that aired on Sunday.
'And when I want to communicate with a foreign leader privately, I type or write a letter myself, put it in the post office, and mail it,' he added.
Asked about disclosures of sweeping U.S. surveillance activities, Carter, a Democrat who served as president from 1977 to 1981, said the practice 'has been extremely liberalized and, I think, abused by our own intelligence agencies.'
