The arguement I have read is that the device the president had was only possible because he has a full security detail 24x7 that can keep track of the phone. Doesn't the secretary of state have that as well?
- Someone1234 11y agoThat isn't an argument that I have read. Obviously it would be "bad" if the black phone slipped into enemy hands, but I think the real concern is that with more of them out in the world there is more potential for adversaries to try and attack them wirelessly. That's the real paranoia. What if the black phone turned into a wireless bug? Anything wireless inside of a SCIF is "bad." The black phone is just an exception for national security reasons, the default is to deny all.
