I'm sure people in the west will be concerned as well, but not like they get a choice seeing how western regimes already ban non western tech. For example, good luck buying a Huawei phone in US or Canada.

I think the ramifications of what Israel did will go far far beyond fear in non west countries. We entered the stage when you can't trust your device anymore to not explode when some state (or non-state) actor would deem you disposable. Everybody should be concerned when they receive a phone call. If nothing else, it should change the way we fly - now security will annoy you with prohibiting bringing even water on airplane. What now? We should travel without any electronic device? Heck, even China didn't go that far (west is banning their devices mostly for economic purposes even though they mimic them as 'security').

You cannt buy it retail but nobody is stopping an individual from buying one online to use within the us.
