Re: @DavCrew
You do realize that they make boxes (cases) that will stop snoopers being able to use his phone as a listening device...
Yeah, they are used by US government agencies all over. They are called "lockers" and individuals entering into secured spaces are supposed to leave their mobile devices in them before entering those areas. This was one of the things that Hillary and her cohort rightfully caught hell over: she pushed back very hard against this requirement. That our current CiC is headed down the same route is no surprise, either, given his love of Twitter.
A phone case that prevents it from being used as a listening device will also disable it from being used as a phone while in the case. This is actually handy as it can be used as an indicator for the device being infected with malware. If you put it in airplane mode or turn it off and the battery drains at about the same rate as when in normal use, the device is providing a false status and trying to phone home.
