Part 1 With Mark's Kay's encouragement Thursday PM Friday AM I called and made an appointment with the senior staff member of my US Senator. The enthusiastic college intern answered the phone. I identified myself by retired rank and military specialty and said I had a National Security concern. She was all ears! I requested she do an internet search about the concerns expressed by Lt/Gen Hodges during NATO exercise Anaconda in Poland in June and the article about the US Army switching from Androids to I Phones. I asked her to print and read the articles before our meeting (she did so). I then traveled from my remote log home down a dirt road all the way to the state capital. Please be aware of the security scans now in place at Federal Office buildings. I had to take my small pocket knife back to my car & go through an airport gate access like process. I showed my ID at the secure office door camera and was admitted. I was introduced to 3 staffers including the most senior. Since they are civilian I had to orientate them to COMSEC and stress that it saves military lives in battle. I mentioned how we use an enemy's bad COMSEC to help us find out about them and kill them. I underscored the vulnerability to the same thing by potential enemies if those Army I-phones are insecure. The General's statement reinforced this quite nicely!
