"Because soldiers will just go and take their phones anyway" When there is a military order - refusing is not an option. And you can check if people have smartphones with them without searching them - quite easy, how they do it in airplanes, emf meters. They are quite cheap. Also you don't have to ban them everywhere. But everywhere critial, yes. A ordinary mobile phone is basically a spying device in terms of security. I would not ask who maybe has access, but who has not. "The solution to this problem is to kill off the targeted ads market in its entirety. Maybe national security is the only way to actually make that go through." So I am sorry, but national security won't help get us rid of targeted ads, you probably also missed the part, where national security of course happily uses that data for themself. So for them it is way easier to just ban smartphones in more areas, than disrupt the internet ad market.
