Burner phones and tablets: how paranoid should I be?

I remember reading somewhere that when NBC staff were sent to Sochi to cover the Winter Olympics, the network's IT experts advised them to use "burners," ie cheap, throwaway tablets and smartphones, instead of their usual devices while they were in Russia. Is this something ordinary American tourists have to worry about?
