I imagine cells phones - and any kind of computers - would be a security issue. The other side can just zero in your cell phone signals and do whatever.
On the other hand, I cannot imagine telling a nineteen year old kid "We are sending you to Europe for nine months, and you can't bring your cell phone".

It's already been done.. The US used cell phone pictures from social media to locate where al Qaeda guys were filming training videos. ISIS also managed to hit some stuff on a military base with mortars because some dumb solder took pictures and shared them on facebook..
More recently, Russian backed rebels used it against Ukraine forces due to the same dumbness.
I honestly can't imagine why cell phones are aloud at all. It's very very stupid IMO. It's a huge security risk.
