Cool...

This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.

Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.

Having a small faraday bag around is useful too, that's what I do.

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 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).

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

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.
