I’m far more worried about my smartphone than pacemaker/insulin pump, however I don’t believe myself to be a target of state surveillance.

"Targeted surveillance" as a concept, is mainly a relic from a bygone era. If you exist, everything you do is surveilled, both by the state and private interests.

It’s worth noting specific types of surveillance are more expensive than others.

I used to be part of a team with access to data not a lot of people could see. I limited my international travel due to it.

It’s been years so anything I could even remember is useless now: significantly less paranoia.
