Border Patrol agents to stop wearing body cameras after social media post reveals ‘security risk’
Fox News
Agents with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency will immediately stop using body cameras in the field after a post on Reddit detailed potential security threats.
The directive comes after a post on Reddit claimed that the mobile application BLE Radar, which uses Bluetooth to scan for low-energy devices such as phones, smartwatches and speakers, can also track CBP body cameras from a distance of 100 yards and can also trigger improvised explosive devices. Michael Lee is a writer for Fox News. Prior to joining Fox News, Michael worked for the Washington Examiner, Bongino.com, and Unbiased America. He has covered politics for more than eight years.
CBP officials sent out a directive following the post informing agents of a "potential security risk" while immediately pulling body cameras from use in the field.
