Modern smart phones contain everything. Banking apps, chat apps, email apps, tracking apps, mileage apps, shopping apps, medical apps. Basically everything in your life can be contained on a smart phone. Once the criminal FBI liars get a hold of it they can do whatever they want. AND if there is nothing “illegal” they will have no problem posting some kind of illegal materials (child porn, terroristic threats, “conspiracies” etc) to frame uncooperative marks. What are the odds that AFTER these phones are collected they all suddenly contain “seditious conspiracy” messages to each other? Or what is to stop an enterprising loyal agent of the Biden gestapo, I mean FBI, to plant illegal materials? Nothing.

..as I re-read my own article, I forgot to add and whole section...

if they can turn on your phone’s mic or laptop camera remotely, there’s no reason once they’re in, they can’t download whatever they want from a phone (including files, etc). Encryption *may* prevent this under certain conditions. But yes, it could also allow bad actors to UPLOAD certain materials to a target’s phone.

In fact, one’s only defense would be log files, probably kept by the phone or internet provider.

My bad for writing this essay in a hurry.

I sincerely hope that anyone in the Trump admin learned early on not to use a network cell phone to send out anything that could be of interest to an enemy, aka the FIB, much less the Chicoms (who have it all, including the BIG STEAL).

I’m imagining the FIB techs who get these phones, sighing, “Oh, well, nothing here. What do you want me to put on it?”

Who says the phone they return is the phone they took?

I assume they are either installing software to get better access for monitoring, or supplying a look-alike with all sorts of nifty new features.
