Cellphone Privacy
Gary:
This was a news broadcast from 5 / 6 years ago. Things have not gotten any more private in that time.
The solution offered at the end of the video, no longer works on many modern cellphones. The battery does not come out.
GreyGeek:
I've only used a flip phone that allows the battery to be replaced when it wears out. Removing the battery is the ONLY way the mic and 911E can be disabled. I don't buy smartphones because the "data plans" are extortionary.
If you own a smartphone that has a battery which cannot be removed by you and replaced, then create a "Faraday Cage" to surround it and eliminate the radio transmissions without your permission. Have a steel (not Aluminum) box with a lid which does not have gaps that is big enough to contain your smartphone. When you want privacy turn the phone off. Then put it in the steel box and close the lid. No transmissions can enter or leave that box.

Aluminum foil will work, even on equipment with higher antenna power than a smartphone, but the problem with it is that it is too easy to get cracks or holes in the foil which leak radiation. And, it is always a good idea to put the phone in a plastic zip lock bag before wrapping it.
A popcorn tin works with some devices but not others, depending on their transmission frequencies:
Microwave ovens do not work. Neither do metal electrical wall boxes. The reason is simple. They have cracks and gaps that allow EMF leaks.
However, while smartphones and walkie-talkie transmissions can be blocked by some methods, EMPs cannot by the same methods. They are much more powerful than cellphone tower radiation. And, EMPs can destroy a device even if it is turned off. So, here is an EMP protection device, on the cheap:
You can buy EMF and EMP shields from Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/chk8s2g

The last video, the guy has his pancake mixer in his EMP cage. That is dedication.
So the TSA is spending billions of dollars to see inside our walls into our safe storage areas with stealth Regan era projects, to inventory this guys pancake mixer in his faraday cage. Priceless.
