Any normal smartphone is a perfect spy machine. It records all conversations around it, tracks exactly where it goes 24x7, can record video at any time on demand. Since the NSA has proven it can control, track, record video and sound remotely anytime and anywhere on any smartphone then it can be assumed any rival government or hacker can do the same. The POTUS can only use completely secure communication devices. Those are created and given to him by the NSA.
99.9% of hackers wouldnt be able to access functions on your phone like the nsa can. Assuming its an iphone were talking about, nsa can get into them because they have backdoors into apples core network that powers the 3-g or 4-g or whatever. Or at least thats my understanding from all the crazy shit ive read over the past year or two. Its scary.

Not true. Obama carries a BlackBerry. Heavily modified by BB and the NSA, but still.
