Already exists, I have gone into length about technologies involved to counter IMSI/IMEI catchers.

What is a law abiding, educated technophile going to do if they discover they have been hoovered (the term used) by a stingray though? Nothing really, you don't know who is running it, you can't really blanket sue... what do you do exactly? The only ones that would benefit from determing if they are getting sucked up are people who are doing illegal shit.

**DISCLAIMER** I work with "stingrays" and other stuff for a living..

I'm guessing you'll disagree with my position that law abiding citizens need to do everything they can to lock down their communications from warrantless, suspicionless spying by the US government and its minions. I don't encrypt my data because I've got something to hide, I encrypt it because it's none of anyone else's business. I'm repulsed by the idea that some bureaucrat needs to know everything I say, who I associate with, and where I go as if I were a common criminal. I'm prepared to do everything I can to thwart their unconstitutional efforts.

Actually I 100% agree, and sadly I got a downvote for asking what I believe is a legitimate question.

What recourse does the average technophile have in this day and age if they get swept? Until this practice gets smashed by the Supreme Court, the average person is hosed.

I do this shit for a living and everything I have is so massively locked down it's rediculious, because even though what I do for a living is overseas, I don't trust my Government(and employer) at all.

Good lord. I really just don't know what to say to this. I just hope you can live with yourself as you help to fuck us all. If this is considered a trolling post I'm sorry but I'm not changing it.

Not a trolling post, I asked a legitimate question which you ignored in your illiteracy or whatever. Since I am not reposting the question a 3rd time, look 1 post higher and you can answer it in your spurious post.

Also as to fucking us all, I work overseas.
