And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

CIA Officer Explains Apple Watch Risks - Very Interesting
Nothing new in this video. Smart phones and watches are analogous with respect to tracking your position and more. Both can be hacked. Even FitBits have to be removed to enter a SCIF.
First thing I did when setting up both of my smart phones was turning location services OFF and denied access to it by other apps that have no business knowing where I am. Further, when I'm out and about, the phone is turned off. I didn't need a location tracking device in my pocket for my first 70 or so years on this rock and I don't need one now. Paper maps and compasses still work as do the two watches I own, both of which are more than 25 years old. I thought about buying one of the newer Casio's that are sun powered, but decided I didn't need to spend $150+/- on a watch at this stage of my life when the two inexpensive watches I own work just fine.
Nice art work collection you posted this morning CW. Always good to see how talented people interpret the world through their art.
