Fox News reports that the FBI now admits to listening to citizens via their turned off cell phones. Cell phones are now tracking and monitoring devices so the state can keep track you your whereabouts, you conversations and who you associate with.
ITS ALL PART OF THE NEW FREEDOM - ENJOY!

If you want to keep your conversation private, you have to be whispering into the ear of someone you want to communicate with and not carrying any electronic gear.
If you do not want to whisper, you would need to create and securely share a one time pad with random characters
with which you can encrypt a message.
If the pad is used only once, it is impossible to break it, literally.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad
You can get scrabble letters and use those by randomly picking them out.
Of course the problem is that you have to pass the pad to the person who needs to decrypt, that in itself can be a security risk.
(because the contents pad can be copied from you without your knowledge)
How do you avoid having to pass the pad to the person?
Well, you either, create the pad being physically together (risky if someone is monitoring) OR you agree on a method (whispered outside to that person ONCE ONLY and never EVER spoken of again) which would give the same result if you did it separately at different times and could be used such that nothing but the encrypted end result is written and given to the person who needs the message.
Examples:
You could drive down any street and use the 1st letter of every 2nd cross street.
You could use every 2nd letter of some huge sign at some designated place.
You could use the 3rd digit number of the phone number on the 3rd row of every 3rd page starting from page 333 in your local phone book.
You could use some mathematical combination of certain integer sequences from integer sequence database on the web.
Best thing would be to use a combination of these things. When I say combination, I don't mean in series, I mean interspersed.
So, for example:
1st - letter from street name
2nd - letter from billboard
3rd - number from phone book
4th - some integer from some integer sequence
5th repeat
Stuff like that.
Common sense tells me that they would have all kinds of books scanned into computers, so if you just use books by themselves, you are screwed.
If you are the one decrypting, you have to either avoid writing anything down and do the decrypting operations in your head (keeping the encrypted message on you is fine, because it can't be cracked) OR destroy the decrypted text (ie. swallow the piece of paper or burn it and then crush the ash in your hands into fine powder {because intact burned paper, can still be read with the help of chemicals}).
Those agencies have all kinds of technology to pick up audio remotely, hack into electronics and decrypt. Common sense tells me that NSA would likely have supercomputers simply unheard of in the public sector and orders of magnitude above what is publicly known, therefore any public encryption standards cannot be assumed to be safe. Only a perfect security option like one time pad can be relied upon.
Now obviously, you could simply pass the secret message itself, if you are whispering into someone's ear. The one time pad, needs to be longer than the message, so that plain word interaction is done only once to setup the method of creating pad data and afterwards only if something goes wrong with decryption. Under normal circumstances you simply pass encrypted messages to each other with the plain text being abbreviated.
If you choose places/things with information for pad that you normally go to/use anyway, then even if someone is watching your every move, they won't know anything is up. You will just appear to be doing regular daily activities (decrypt a letter here and a letter there) and meeting with your friend at the park and just talk normal day to day stuff. LOL
