When I'm not using my phone, it is either stuffed inside a belt-pouch or glove compartment (using the vehicle's hands-free feature) or sitting in front of a radio speaker on my desk. In any case, there is a "Zuckerberg Dot" (an adhesive patch) covering each of the camera lenses until I need them.
It doesn't eliminate eavesdropping, but who would really want to tap my phone just to listen to my typing or to a news/traffic/weather radio station that they can tune in for themselves?
"They" know where you are.
"They" can follow you.
"They" can rob your house when they know you are away.
"They" can plant things in your house, when you are away.
"They" can set you up for a fake car crash.
EEP!
There are *lots* of things they can do if they know where you are.
