Boeing Preparing an Ultra-Secure Smartphone

bobwrit writes in with a story about Boeing's new secure government phones project. "Earlier this week, it was revealed that aerospace firm Boeing was working on a high security mobile device for the various intelligence departments. This device will most likely be released later this year, and at a lower price point than other mobile phones targeted at the same communities. Typically, phones in this range cost about 15,000-20,000 per phone, and use custom hardware and software to get the job done. This phone will most likely use Android as it's main operating system of choice, which lowers the cost per phone, since Boeing's developers don't have to write their own operating system from scratch."

this is the phone I'd want to carry

imagine if you get stopped while driving and the cop wants to take a browse thru your phone, for his usual fishing-for-crimes spree.

it would probably be impossible, by design, for him to invade your privacy with a phone like this.

finally, one that is safe to carry around outside.
