1. Set up a Hotmail account.
2. Set up a second email account with a
non-U.S. provider. (eg. Rediffmail.com)
3. Send messages between the two accounts
which might be interesting to the NSA.
4. In each message, include a unique URL
to a Web server that you have access to its
server logs. This URL should only
be known by you and not linked to from
any other Web page. The text of the
message should encourage an NSA monitor
to visit the URL.
5. If the server log file ever shows this
URL being accessed, then you know that
you are being snooped on. The IP address
of the access can also provide clues
about who is doing the snooping.
Besides monitoring the NSA, this same technique can be used if you
suspect your email account password has been stolen or if a family
member or
coworker is reading your email on your computer of the sly.

This wouldn't actually tell you if your mail is being read, so much as
it is a way to try to get someone (or something) to add your mail to the
"watch list". It is not a good idea to try this if you hope to ever
again fly on an American airline without first being strip-searched by
the TSA monkeys.
(Wonder if this message will be enough to put ME on that damn list,
assuming I'm not on there already? Good luck, John Gilmore!)
