> It's not discussed, but I would be interested to see if this means they will be acquiring more data than usual. i.e. does this mean every phone will be analysed, or will they only do it for phones they could (in the past) justify sending off for detailed examination. Initially and officially, no, but eventually in practice, yes---once the capability is close, cheap(/already paid), and easy, they'll use it more. It's like Tasers, which supposedly save lives because they're way less lethal than bullets; if they really only used them when they previously would have fired a gun, then the only people who die from tasering would presumably have died without the taser as well. Except that someone with a taser is much more likely to fire (because it's "nonlethal") than someone who only has a gun.... In the case of the mobile data, "is it worth bothering" will get much more frequent "yes" answers when the kiosk is across the office than when the lab is across the country and requires days of waiting.
