An employee of Japan's nuclear regulator lost a smartphone, possibly in China, containing a confidential list of contacts, an official and local media reports said...
…The smartphone contained the names and contact details of staff members in the authority's nuclear security division, according to major media, including Kyodo News and the Asahi Shimbun newspaper.
Information on staff in the division is not made public due to the sensitivity of their work, local media said.
The employee is believed to have lost the smartphone at an airport in Shanghai on November 3 while taking items out of carry-on luggage during a security check, Kyodo said, citing unnamed sources.
The person realised the phone was missing three days later but was unable to locate it, Kyodo added.

He did NOT lose the phone.it was either stolen or left to CCP spies.
No one loses their phone for 3 days without realizing it.
Me: Over 16 years without a lost cellphone, and counting.

I was copying the quote, but then realized you posted what I was thinking in the initial post. No one is going to realize their phone was missing for three days.
I know of one federal agency that had a phone compromised in China. New policy that you couldn’t take agency phones out of the country - they’d issue a temporary one to use for international travel.
Espionage! The guy handed it over willingly, he’s a spy.

Yes, it’s time……
You think that the phones of such high officials would have some kind of automatic security system.
Yeah ‘loses’ in ‘China’
Yamaguchi used a wakizashi, a traditional short sword, to stab Asanuma.
Yamaguchi committed suicide in a juvenile detention center three weeks after the incident.
Yes, Asanuma was pro-ChiCom.

THE STORY BEHIND THIS BETTER BE A GOOD ONE....

RE: Chain the phone to one’s hand....
In the novel Jailbird by Kurt Vonnegut an elderly woman seems to be unbalanced when she said her pursuers want to cut off her hand. Turns out a handprint to unlock her bank identity to steal her fortune requires only the hand.
