AS for Russia we should be considering this constant mettling as a act of cold war. We should start hammering them and their allies with sanctions and start respong to these attacks with equal attacks back.
I was in the Marines long before cell phones - hell, even before cell phones.

I imagine cells phones - and any kind of computers - would be a security issue. The other side can just zero in your cell phone signals and do whatever.

On the other hand, I cannot imagine telling a nineteen year old kid "We are sending you to Europe for nine months, and you can't bring your cell phone".
