The point is, the device is only secure as the communication line is. We've all seen the evidence that 2G and 3G networks are basically wide open to MITM intercept attacks by just turning on a cell simulator (Stingray) device close to the phone, especially with encryption downgrade attacks. 4g and LTE systems may be more secure, but even those are susceptible some attacks. The president is certainly worth the effort if anyone is.

Comment TV no, streaming much more (Score 1) 244

So I don't watch TV and haven't since 1996. I have been watching more shows on streaming lately as a result of both more shows of quality being available and variety of services (I have Prime and Netflix). My TV is hooked up to my computer, so I hardly ever actually use the "TV" function to watch OTA broadcasts-- when I do, inevitably an ad comes on and I flip it back to being a giant monitor.
