As I have told several people, the moment your threat model is "I am of
interest to a major nation-state intelligence agency" your response
needs to be either "call my lawyer and sit down for a long talk with
them" or else "withdraw all my savings as cash and go on the run
refusing to use any technology more complicated than a frying pan".

There are no realistic in-betweens.

Bin Laden went for option #2, and was able to survive for almost ten
years while being of interest to every world intelligence agency.  It's
good advice, it seriously is.  But I'm not kidding about refusing to use
any technology more complicated than a frying pan.

Yep.

A frying pan might be useful should one elect to go this route!
