BlackBerry Ltd (BB.TO) is working with Boeing Co (BA.N) on Boeing's high-security Android-based smartphone, the Canadian mobile technology company's chief executive said on Friday.
The Boeing Black phone being developed by the Chicago-based aerospace and defense contractor, which is best known for jetliners and fighter planes, can self-destruct if it is tampered with.

It is hoped that one of these never self-destructs one of their aircraft in the process. That is all.

You no longer have to build a detonator for your bomb. You can just pick it up at the local cellphone store. No assembly needed, ready to go out of the package.

“Define self-destruct. “
Dropping the phone?
To: McGruff
Police agencies will HATE this when they try to break into someone’s phone to delete video of police doing something wrong. It forces them to have to get a warrant before they access the phone and to me that’s a good step for liberty!

My wife’s iPhone has self-destructed several times. This is the only plausible explanation as she swears that she didn’t do anything.
To: McGruff
Hopefully not while it is on a Boeing.
