Pigeons, hand-written letters, direct conversations - anything low-tech for important stuff. High-tech cops will get lazy: (When not targeted directly,) why bother going through the pains of capturing a pigeon or deciphering an innocent-looking letter of mr.X when you can press a button and get a whole dump of data on mr.Y and mrs.Z in a split second and have a looksee if they can be pinned as "terrorists"?
Leave your phone "clean enough" so you look like an average Joe, that just went to a wrong corner of the Internet, or at the very least sieg-heils with a beer in his other hand every 3rd Sunday = appear as a less worthy target. If they come for you, they WILL get you - if they won't find anything, they will place sth of their own and work in hand with media to make the public go along with their narrative ("oy vey, he had 100GB of cp on his disk, for real", etc.), anyway.
We're at the point where your job is to stay away from the spotlight and pray/keep-fingers-crossed that it's not your turn. That and raise a lot of good, tightly-knit kids so they can take care of you and each other when the shit hits the fan (i.e. have your own doctor, lawyer, farmer, house-builder, banker etc. in your family, either as your own kid or married-in to them). You can only count on your own, after all.
