Beats me.  The real question is, why are you bringing a mobile phone
into a secure space in the first place?

A smartphone contains a microphone, a camera, a GPS, an always-on
network connection, and a lot of closed-source software you can't
inspect for security holes.  Zero-day exploits exist for both Android
and iOS.  Add it all up and what you come up with is, don't bring mobile
phones into secure spaces.  It's not worth the risk.
