You probably wouldn't want to bring a phone to some types of events, but as the number of these events increase, the odds of you just happening to be close to such an event during the course of a normal day might increase. Maybe it's best if we turn off 2g reception on our phones. No reason to be swept up in warrantless sweeps if not necessary.

if you've ever used a radar detector you know, people drive like they are always being watched. not often in my experience. doubt these dolts are real sophisticated. fear is their main weapon.
I don't understand the entire first half of your comment. The only explanation I have for how well received it was would have to be the last two sentences which resonated with people.
I wonder if it would be possible to extend the capabilities of the software to triangulate the location of a a Stingray or other false tower with a few more of those devices working in concert in the same area.
Remember to leave your phones at home or turned off completely if you go to a protest
Turned off completely isn't off. You'd need to put it in a Faraday bag
