You put off your coat and shoes when you enter my house, but not your spycraft? Not that I follow the same rule, but when I think about it, I find it entirely reasonably. It is the rest of us who, including myself, who are mad.
- IshKebab 7y agoMost people consider the likelihood of things actually happening. It is not likely that MI6 are listening to my phone or any of my friend's phones, and even if they were the worst that happens is they hear my boring conversations. So for 99.999% of people the benefit is essentially zero, and the cost is moderately high (having to put your phone in a box all the time). Consider other things that have a similar cost/benefit ratio that are more obviously mad: * I could install a 3 metre high wall with razor wire around my house in case the police try to attack me for some reason. * I could walk everywhere wearing a bicycle helmet in case I fall over. * I could never use stairs. Only use lifts - they're much safer! Hopefully it's obvious why those are mad.
