Team USA Urges Athletes to Use Burner Phones to Thwart Chinese Spying at Genocide Games

Team USA has recommended U.S. Olympics athletes leave their personal electronics home and use burner phones to thwart Chinese spying during the upcoming Genocide Games in Beijing.

“Like computers, the data and applications on cell phones are subject to malicious intrusion, infection, and data compromise,” the US Olympics group told American athletes in a recent advisory memo, USA Today reported.
