Ever heard of diplomatic bags? Taking phones away in this day and age almost certainly means a compromised device.

  Do we know the phone was in a diplomatic bag?

    Generally speaking, anything related to a diplomat cannot be touched (outside of physical security concerns). This includes their immediate family, their car, their entourage. Personal items and documents obviously fall under this since they may contain state secrets.

    Anything the diplomat is carrying already can't be searched, the diplomatic bag just exists so a diplomat doesn't need to carry everything themselves.
