Definitely seems like it. It sounds like there's a very clear issue here that the president has been repeatedly talked to about, though.
My point was that wanting to use a product that's been around for 30 years isn't necessarily an indication of knowledge and acceptance of tech; that's sort of a vain way to measure it, imho. It should be measured by someone's comprehension of how a technology works, and an understanding of the positive and negative implications of it.
Honestly, as time goes on, more of the people I meet in the tech sector seem more like moderates; a lot less likely to jump to a shiny new thing than the average consumer.

I would expect the secure equipment to not leak information when exposed to a weak RF source, and I wonder if the cell phones in question are themselves secure (there was a bunch of noise about the special effort required to provision secure cell phones at the time).
