1. One year a speaker demonstrated a rogue AT&T cell tower on stage and asked people on AT&T to try to make a call and I did and my call got intercepted. I saw my phone number on the presenters screen!pic.twitter.com/YtW1nphhsO

4. Wall of sheep one year demonstrated how plugging your phone into a usb power station can steal the data from your phone. I plugged my burner in to learn more. I wants hands on experience with all of this!pic.twitter.com/D8yuEavPUG

6. Any village/workshop/contest that needs me to do something experimental like take a photo of a QR code or record a sound for playback, it's ok, I'm ready, I'm sandboxed basically. I have a digital playground in my pocket.pic.twitter.com/GI4eUvTPjH

7. Let's not even go into me being a journalist protecting sources. But let's talk about when I worked in a NOC for an MSSP. My phone had work emails/phone numbers/client contacts. It would be a major problem and how embarrassing for me as a security engineer to get hacked.pic.twitter.com/u9vQd6J6s3

Seems to be about semantics of wording. For some calling a throw away phone a burner phone takes away the seriousness of the purpose of a burner phone, especially in the realm of trade craft.

Oh ok. This makes sense. Thanks. I guess I didn't know I was being insensitive to people in trade craft. Sorry then.

To be fair, they keep themselves and their sensitivites under wraps.

Yeah I'm tired of people telling me what my threat model should or should not include. If I wanna bring a burner I will, its my threat model not yours.

Is it really hate about bringing a phone you don't care about? Or hate about calling it a burner phone? I think it was

You’ve got a good set of reasons there, Jack. I wouldn’t worry about what they think of you specifically. The backlash was against people who think they need one without being able to talk intelligently through a threat model.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

After the reports of what the Chinese do with your phone when you enter their country ... you should be carrying a burner when traveling as well. No customs can be trusted these days. "Please unlock your phone sir ...
