The security measure has been extended since last January 5 when the use of personal mobile phones was already prohibited inside and now also affects wearables and the like, among which the Apple Watch obviously stands out.
The president's own spokesperson, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was in charge of communicating that the restriction is firm today and that it affects all employees, visitors and other personnel who access the West Wing of the White House. This particular place in the building is where the president works and must be protected from any external threat. "The security and integrity of technology systems in the White House are a top priority for the Administration."
These security measures are promoted by various security aspects that directly affect the correct functioning of the presidency and its movements. Also remember that the ban on using these devices such as the Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad or other electronic devices, came just as parts of a book about Donald Trump's White House workings were leakedby journalist Michael Wolff.
Really the important thing here is to know the reality of the problem and that is that the president himselfe really has a fixation on the possible leaks that come to lightThis is another important reason for these prohibitions. In addition, all this makes the employees of the White House very upset since they will not be able to use government telephones for personal purposes, so when they enter work they will not be able to have contact with the outside at any time. We are not saying that they have to be more aware of the smartphone, Apple Watch or similar than their work, but it is normal that this veto annoys them.
