Military gear generally has tons of anti-moron safeguards. Unfortunately, Signal is for civilians.

Which also means these conversations were on an unapproved app on an unapproved device. Actual government phones wouldn’t be able to get Signal, right?

Government secure phones are special handmade by the NSA. They are nothing like civilian phones. Obama got the NSA to lock down his Blackberry but I doubt that is doable with today’s mainstream smartphones.

I actually wouldn’t be shocked if it was possible with modern smartphones. A significant amount of money is available to be made from federal security work, and meeting the NSA criteria has benefits that extend to companies that work in the federal security space as well.

As long as you can flash them, everything’s possible.
In that spirit: Fuck Apple to hell.

I have a government-issued iPhone. It has Signal on it, and I have access to the appstore. It’s also not allowed to be used for anything but unclassified communication and isn’t permitted inside restricted areas.
