This is funny to me, because I recall people being worried about tracking chips in vaccines, but they would not give up their phones.
Russia's war in Ukraine shows why troops need to learn to put their phones away, top US Marine general says

The use of new technology on the battlefield has prompted the US military to rethink its operations as it prepares for a future conflict with a technologically advanced adversary, and many of its changes have been validated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, US Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger said this month.
One of the most important lessons is that your electronics are giving away more information about you than you think, said Berger, who has led an effort to develop capabilities to operate in a more dispersed manner since taking over as the Corps' top officer in July 2019.
The risk posed by electronic emissions is salient for Marines, as those emissions could allow rivals to track them, listen to their communications, or attack them.
"We have to be distributed. You have to have enough mobility that you can relocate your unit pretty often. You have to learn all about — like some of us learned 30 years ago — camouflage, decoys, deception," Berger said at a Defense Writers Group event on December 8. "What we didn't worry so much about 30 years ago now is every time you press a button, you're emitting."
