Tangent, but this is one reason why I don't bother with "burner phones" at DEFCON.
If my day to day security practices are insufficient for DEFCON, they're insufficient for day to day life. I'm just as likely to get attacked in a random cafe.
I roll my eyes a bit at people who insist that burner phones are necessary.
A lot of security rituals you hear about from folks online are like this.
This is the kind of culture that leads to giving blanket paranoid security advice without threat modelling first.
I did it with laptop.
More out of the, loss would be massive hassle, angle.
I'll not carry laptops on me all the time. Thats way different than a phone, as in more chance for physical shenanigans, shoulder surfing and then steal without "Raub" (German legal definition).
The goal of "thorough disassociation" is exponential effort. With so many footguns its not even funny.
Better don't carry a phone at all while being clandestine in a way that phones are relevant.
