That's quite ridiculous. What about the security of the phone they are using? When Hillary was signing off on drones via text, that was incredibly stupid and it remains true today.

It's reasonable for high level officials to weigh the cost vs benefit. When you're one or two steps away from the president, you have a lot of leeway.
