Aerospace and defense contracting industry leader Boeing has announced development of a smart phone that will automatically erase all its information if any unauthorized users attempts to open it. Is this the realization of Mission: Impossible-type self-destructing phones? Or is the ideal of truly secure communication impossible in today’s hyper-connected world of constant surveillance? And what other projects could Boeing turn its attention to if the company genuinely wanted to serve the smart phone needs of impoverished people in the developing world?
