    work/personal split on mobile devices is a solved security issue.
    its mostly a question of convenience now, and people choose convenience over security every time... unless they are publicly shamed?!!
    I am pretty sure Hilary would never want to setup a personal server for govt work... and perhaps so will pence if he is shamed enough.

    may be they will be two big enough examples after all the shaming that when IT (security) wants to implement security people will go like... ok.
