Snowden in his latest revelations reveals your smartphone can be switched on without you knowing it, enabling AUDIO and VIDEO to be sent back to the NSA/GCHQ using capabilities named after SMURFs (those blue cartoon characters lol)
Once GCHQ had gained access to a user's handset, Mr Snowden said the agency would be able to see "who you call, what you've texted, the things you've browsed, the list of your contacts, the places you've been, the wireless networks that your phone is associated with. And they can do much more. They can photograph you.

What I found cool was he put a sheet over his head to put his password in cause the NSA does have heuristic ways of seeng what you are typing in the open. He also says a 10 digit passcode would take the NSA 3 days to brute force open, so ya might wanna make those a bit better, or just like BB does you have 10 attempts and then the phone is bricked adn erased securely.
