this is a classified "data loss prevention" mechanism, if you will.
rather than deny cell use on sensitive locations (some locales demand
no digital electronics) a happy middle ground of surreptitious deep
inspection on demand is applied.

what was once foreign battlefield only, is now plentiful lawful access, locally.

don't be fooled; no less malicious in re-purpose. these are war
weapons aimed at all of us...
