Hammer to 500.00 phone?

If you want to finesse it, put a screwdriver on one edge and then smash the screwdriver with a hammer.

Let them track you...it keeps them busy not tracking the rest of us.

Well, when in doubt -— I sent an email to the book’s author.

You need more than that - you need a cage made of mu-metal because the EM signal has a magnetic component which also needs to be blocked, in addition to the electrical component.

If you really have it fully wrapped in conductive foil so that you have a true Faraday cage (i.e., an electrostatic shield), the currents induced on the inner surface of that shield by the magnetic field cancel it out.

Just a point of interest, but pulling the battery only works for your immediate movements.

So, lets say you secretly went to Alcoholic Anonymous meetings on Thursdays, and you pulled the battery out almost every Thursday when you did. If three weeks out of four there is no data for 2 hours, and one week out of four there is data showing you at a given point for those 2 hours, well, the phone company can put 2 and 2 together and figure out where you probably are.

Tracking isn't just immediate. It's logged. So, wherever your phone has been while it's on leaves a record.

I did get a reply from the book’s author. “Manipulated” means that software has to be installed to make the phone beacon when switched off. This is intrusive and requires a wiretap warrant to be legal.
