If they were interested in what you are doing (very big if), they really wouldn't care about your facial expression while you are doing it (or the wallpaper behind you), but they would monitor what is happening on the screen, so what you need to do is keep the screen off while you are on your iPad........

It's not the NSA we need to worry about. While we're all het up about government surveillance, Google and Amazon permeate.

Nobody wants to look or listen to you. You're not that important.

This! Seriously folks, get over yourselves. Why would anyone want to watch/hear/eavesdrop on a random person staying in a Marriott in Boston?

Just to try and sell you crap. I have Alexa at home and I’ve noticed that somethings that I ask her to look up for me eventually show up advertised on my amazon app/website and even get email offers as well. So it’s all really just about targeted advertising.

Because your activities and everything you say will add to your advertising profile. Amazon makes a lot of money that way and they sell that profile to other companies. That bugs a lot of people.
