Samsung Galaxy phones approved by NSA

Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets have just become
the first consumer mobile devices approved by the US
National Security Agency (NSA) to carry classified
documents. The edict covers most of its newer Galaxy
devices, including the Galaxy S5 , Galaxy Note 4, and
the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet (2014 edition) -- as long as
they're equipped with Knox, Samsung's mobile
security app. Knox-enabled devices have already been
approved by the US Department of Defense, but only
for general, not classified, use. That's a shot of good
news for Samsung in the face of recent dismal
earnings , and it no doubt wants to translate the NSA's
golden nod into consumer and corporate sales.
Ironically, many of those potential customers may be
paranoid... of the NSA.
