  So you would have governments spend tax money on secure phones for personell to make Instagram posts and browse Pornhub?

    I wouldn’t have governments do anything, except disband and decommission all military assets, but if I were somehow in that position then yes I would recommend providing secure devices. The cost is insignificant - just buy one less fighter jet.

      Sounds great. But I suspect the reality is they would be provided by the MIC at €/$10000 a piece, while they can for sure not buy fewer jets. They will happily slash your welfare though to afford it :)
