sounds like a good reason to target any helicopters flying overhead with green lasers.

I wouldn't trust a foil bag to do anything 100%.

the only 100% way to not be caught is not bring it.

it also provides an alibi. "see, my phone was here all day long."

I'm someone that is from tornado alley. I celebrate when they get hit now because it means that they have to experience the consequences of their actions.

My family is still there and I hope they can get out but, most of the people I met their would shake your hand while stabbing people like me in the back.

Think a drone could get up above it and drop something into the propeller?

Drop it on the tail prop so they start spinning and get hella dizza and throw up.

If you think you need a phone, it should be a burner.

This would likely be done through cell phone tracking devices like a stingray, not plates. I don't know how many people are in their cars at a protest.

I mean, a proper Faraday cage will block anything unless the US government has figured out how to break the laws of physics...

Police unions give unions a bad name. Fucking thugs.

I'm talking about an actual faraday bag, not a foil bag. That, combined with a powered off device keeps you fairly protected. They aren't going to get into your phone if it's powered off.

it also provides an alibi. "see, my phone was here all day long."

There's going to be a deviation in usage regardless, it's not providing an alibi. A gap of time when you're not using your device that you normally would be is a marker they look for. They key is keeping them locked out (again, power them off).

A proper Faraday cage, a truly excellent one, just the most Faraday of all the cages, is easily defeated by physical attacks such as getting your phone cloned when you get mass arrested and summarily released on OR.

You won't have much of a choice when FEMA is gone. I mean, less and less people will have homes there anymore.

And now the DEA's got a chopper in the air,

I wake up screamin' like I'm back over there,

I learned a thing or two from Charlie, don't you know?

You better stay away from Copperhead Road.

Can you imagine 6 dudes with AR-15s, nothing fancy, responding that that threat? One wonders what might happen.

That burner cant ever have connected to a cell tower when its near your house, otherwise its not longer a "burner"

Edit: Also: Beware of the possibility of there being malware that logs gyroscope and accelerometer data. Those info can be used to figure out your location, then transmitted whenever it has a chance.

Not good enough. Phones can figure out its location using gyroscopes and accelerometer, then if at any point in the future, you remove it from the faraday cage, your entire movement logs are transmitted.

Faraday cage does not prevent gyroscopes and accelerometers from working. Then if you remove it from a faraday cage in the future, it will transmit all that movement

Unless your device is already compromised, that information isnt being logged when the device is powered off so it's kind of moot.

I bring my phone. I likely won't be breaking any laws, and I can afford a lawyer. So yeah arrest me and waste the system's time. Just another data point they have to sort.

And if it gets to the point where none of that matters we were cooked anyway

I would be shocked if they aren't equipped with puke bags for such an event and then your plan is foiled.
