    Phobia??? Bluetooth is a well-known security risk—including the possibility of escalating and executing code—well, malware—on the phone. Strongly suggest talking to cybersecurity experts—or even a Dr. Google consultation—before running such stories.https://twitter.com/AlexThomp/status/1467995231014559744 …

    NEW: Kamala Harris has long felt that Bluetooth headphones are a security risk. So, she insists on using wired ones, 3 fmr campaign aides told @rubycramer and me. That Bluetooth phobia remains (if you look closely, you'll see the clump of wires in hand) https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2021/12/06/kamala-harris-is-bluetooth-phobic-495343 … pic.twitter.com/HtscTWm1sF

        “Paranoid”? Vice President of the United States as a target in a world with the kind of software/hardware we have? You probably couldn’t manage to be paranoid enough tbh.https://twitter.com/AlexThomp/status/1468002290695032834 …

        Former aides say that VP has long been careful about security — w/ some describing it as prudent & others suggesting it’s a bit paranoid. A former aide from AG days said when a person arrived for a meeting, staff were instructed not to allow them to wait in Harris' office alone.

        Seriously, being mindful of well-known cybersecurity risks and not letting people be alone in your office are very very reasonable, even minimal precautions for high office. Don’t we have anything real going on?
