Russia restricts smartphone usage for active duty military. We should take a close look at this and quite frankly consider it ourselves (sorry to anyone who is still active duty).
1) They are right, these things are a huge security threat. Want to know where a unit is, find out where a unit member's phone is...
2) If Russia has some concerns here it is likely because they know what their own capabilities are and as such we should sure as heck be worried about this threat vector.

This makes sense at so many levels. With the right app you can survey an area and filter intended targets from your iPhone. Track subscribers and their activity, view attached devices (activity trackers, iwatch, Bluetooth devices, etc)

No no hell no. Why are you 45th supporters so infatuated with Putin's dictatorial policies. Yes he would like to implement this being that he attacked the press again this morning but was silent on Putin's threat

SSgt Ray Stone I'm not too sure a lot of people here on Rally Point would characterize me as a Trump supporter, or even adjacent to being a Trump supporter. I don't think he has much to do with this conversation.

I once lost my cell phone - I had an app installed to track my phone for such cases however the phone's battery died. When I logged in to the app via a desktop PC the app stated most likely my phone was at a hockey rink due to my daughters phone being in close proximity to the rink at the time frame in question. My daughter's phone was linked to the same app account however still a little creepy it could track my phone via a secondary device's location. However was able to recover my phone - thanks to the app.
As such knowing the tracking capabilities are real and very accurate - being deployed with a tracking device in your back pocket probable not a good idea.

SPC David S. Exactly true. Now think about the implications of the camera or microphone being remotely activated.
