Actually, no... The whole point is that you CAN prove ( in a court of law) that the GPS data in the phone is also tied by various bio-markers to the Person who owns the phone.

Sjbe,
I was sorely disappointed to discover how NOT NON trivial it is to pick most commercial locks (meaning, of course, that it IS trivial.) - after watching a 25 minute DVD and practicing for less than 15 minutes (meaning my total investment in this skill is less than one hour), I myself am able to do it in less than 20 seconds. I can only imagine that for an actual thief with experience, that the time is less than 5 seconds. -- That seems pretty trivial to me.
That's why I have a mechanical, electrical and biological system of overlapping security systems now.
I generally detest when coworkers send "cute" little email links... But I have to admit it. - I sent unsolicited messages to my friends about THIS one.
I type "LOL" occasionally, but this time I ACTUALLY DID.
... If I were to go to even a reasonable effort to combat all of them, I would be doing nothing else with my life.
In risk management,
Well, I am ALSO an IT Security professional, and I can certainly confirm your statement quoted above as that is indeed just about all I do while I am at work. Luckily, I am not the kind of person who takes work home with them, though.
I am a professional who gets paid to be obsessive over security. - I acknowledge that it is easy to confuse that with PARANOID; but trust me, there are distinct differences. And one of those differences is that I can see your point. If you are able to ACCEPT a risk, then it may be the simple way to go.
As for myself, the paperwork to list a risk as "accepted" is usually more of a headache than any possible mitigation. But if you can get away with it, Good on ya'. - I was just unsure from your first post here that you were ACCEPTING the risk and not IGNORING it...
projects I work on are of no interest to any entity able to intercept the data
And I thought I'd speak up.
On that topic, however... It sure is nice to come across somebody who can use Risk Management intelligently. - It seems that these days, most folks can't even manage to use it correctly in a sentence...

My deepest apologies for wasting all of my MOD points before you made this post. --- Awesome.

Hey, IBM.... Welcome to 2009!
They are also BILLED OUT at a higher rate... You can be sure THAT is the driving force behind the change in classification.... Just Say'n.

Sadly, 74% actually seems low to me. - Just say'n....

so far, yes. I am getting security updates. - hopefully you didn't just jinx me...
