UK Ministers Banned From Bringing iPads To Cabinet Meetings Because of Spying Fears

Chinese could be listening

Ministers have been banned from taking iPads into Cabinet meetings to stop them being spied on.

Intelligence agencies have demanded that tablet computers be removed from the room before David Cameron and his top team conduct ultra-sensitive talks.

It is feared the devices could be hacked by a foreign power and used as covert listening devices.

This isn't really news. Wireless devices are often barred from government facilities in which classified or sensitive information is being discussed because it's an inherently unsecure technology. Been that way since the advent of that technology.
