Yes that's right but it wouldn't stop the police or FBI from tacking you to that location.

I think the point they were trying to make in Snowden is that a smart phone can be used to listen into conversation happening in the room. IMO That's highly unlikely but I wouldn't say it's impossible.

Do you remember the husband and wife terrorists in the US from a few years ago? - How long did it take the FBI to defeat the encryption on the wife's iPhone? - 2 or 3 days from memory. The FBI initially asked Apple for help but they refused.

All of this relates to "Java's" last post above. Smart phones are cool and all that but they're also are a very effective tracking device.
