DANG!

well, he is probably really good at golf now and can teach lessons

I can find no plausible explanation why Mr Colella would create a Faraday cage around his PDA, except to obstruct the GPS collecting capacity of the device,

---

They will soon outlaw “Faraday” cages and only outlaws will have them /s

And no one at his company ever questioned why hi GPS signal would drop out during his 4-5 hour round of golf and then would reappear afterwards?

We use these devices in fleet management and this constant signal interruption would been have caught sooner than 2 years.

[bgill]

All that and a bag of chips.

Elaborate? Good grief.
It was a packet of snack chips.

I helped put in a GPS enabled mobile dispatch system for a bunch of utility crews. They were quite creative in disabling the GPS portion of the application. They were all union so they knew they could get away with it.

In Florida, as I am sure in many other states, the “SunPass” device which automatically records and deducts toll charges from a pre-paid account comes with it’s own ‘Twistie’ foil bag. The instructions that come with the device tell the user that the bag will effectively prevent the electronic reader from communicating with the device if the device is placed inside it...hence, Farraday Cage.

the packet was deliberately used to operate as an elaborate “Faraday cage”

Elaborate? Simple as pie.

[Joe 6-pack]

Due to the Australian accents of those involved, he can always claim he misunderstood the company policy regarding, “Casual Faradays”.

[Constitution Day]

Not all heroes wear capes.

[ShadowAce]

The tribunal found that the packet was deliberately used to operate as an elaborate “Faraday cage”

Their idea of "elaborate" and mine are quite different.

If so, then all signals were blocked, not just GPS. In that case, why not just turn the phone off? I doubt an employer has the technology to track a phone that is turned off. Or leave the damned thing in a drawer at one’s desk!

[Red Badger]

A company I used to work for I had to have a pager on me 24/7. I hated it.

If I had only known..........................

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

And in two years nobody noticed that his signal would disappear for hrs at a time?

[Blood of Tyrants]

He could have simply left the device at work and forwarded any emails or calls to his personal phone.

[bunkerhill7]

Hi-tech golf balls have their own GPS so you can find them.
