It almost seems that the article was written to help the protesters avoid being recognized.

Remove battery, wrap in tin foil, wrap that in towel, place into metal ammo box.

ANT&FA thugs use unbrellas so that they can get the drop on the coppers when they decide to start using guns (same purpose as the fireworks).

...in another town, wearing a pillow under your oversized logger shirt. And a baseball cap with fake dreadlocks in the back.

As one of my local PD friends told me, discharging a firearm in the city limits is a Class B misdemeanor.

I asked him about using a shotgun on a drone that was over our backyard while my wife was swimming in our pool! He told me that was a really BAD idea based on our local laws.

Depending on the type of “drone” and sensors, you may not be able to hide.

All you need is Jim West’s wrist activated Derringer device.

A real one is probably illegal even if it worked or existed at all.

Some basic techniques for confusing IR, Facial and Gait recognition SW/AI are in included in the article.

While you would not be completely impervious to detection, they’d have to really, really want your ass to find you.

I made a phone wallet out of camo duct tape. Foil lined. Need to find it.

According to this article it can still be tracked!

Yea, I'm gonna call BS on that article. I tried this a while back. Went out for the day to run my errands with my cell phone wrapped in heavy duty Aluminum foil, two layers. Told the wife to call and text every 20 minutes. The phone never rang.

Got home two hours later, unwrapped the phone, and nothing. No texts, no missed calls nothing. Asked the wife if it ever went to voicemail and she said no. Just a dead line, no ringing, nothing.

Just for good measure I checked on Google where it shows where your phone has been and nothing there either.

I would just check each phone and see if you get similar results. (or a better grade of foil :-)

Exhale can be masked...mostly. It can also be diverted.

It can be hidden beneath a tree canopy.

Thoroughly in any environment that is 95deg +.

There are many micro environments that meet that threshold...
