That seems to be a bit far fetched, it's been widely remarked that any
well dressed white male willing to give up his own life, could probably
kill a President. There isn't much that can be done to stop that.

I think cell phone transmissions are more difficult to filter through,
simply because of the whole voice->text issue. But I've heard that
they have the voice prints of many terrorists, etc. They also take
particular interest in phone calls made to/from places of interest,
like Pakistan/Afghanistan, etc. But as far as emails go, thats a much
easier problem. Dan Brown, the author of "The DaVinci Code" mentions
in the book "Digital Fortress" that one of his students at Exeter
Academy in New Hampshire was busted by the FBI for sending an email to
another student about how easy it would be to kill Clinton. Not
actually threatening mind you.

They may, and it is certainly possible, be set up to intercept and
copy every cel-phone transmission made. But the simply do not have
the people to browse through all that. If they have some reason to
monitor a particular number it is no problem, but they can not do
that for all the billions of cel-phone calls made everyday. Also if
you are using a cel-phone for nefarious reasons it is kind of simple
to have a bunch of SIM cards to keep changing your phone number which
makes it even more difficult for the authorities to monitor your calls.

The funny thing about all this is if I were a spy, or a pervert
today, I would us a camera/phone. No one would pay any attention to
me. I could sent the photos off to a safe place, and erase them
from the phone before anyone accosted me.
Is that what the police and security people look for, no they see
someone using a serious looking camera and they are all over them.
As if a spy would use something like that out in the open. From
inside a van with a tiny opening to shoot through, maybe? Or from
inside a room across the street, maybe? But out in the open? No
effing way!
I could set my Oly up so I can reformat the CF card with two button
presses. My paranoia is telling me that might be a great idea.
