In my day, PC-level officials (and lower, since I had one at a General Staff job but strangely did not have one as a DDIO...it depends on the agency & how much $ they're putting against it) were issued secure phones with specially developed and security vetted apps on them. It is true that people who don't have government issued phones do some coordination using their own phones. Things like "meeting on Wednesday at 9 a.m." with no other context. Technically government employees are not allowed to use their own phones or emails for official business. In reality, people who don't warrant issuing special equipment still need to communicate with their team. And they are not stupid enough to blab strike plans! I swear to god I've never met anyone in the govt as STUPID as these MAGA men. #spillage #NSC #DOD #military #security
