Depends on your use-case. If you only want to stop communications during a specified period of time (e.g.) during a "secret" conversation, then this is useful. If you have any apps installed that might be polling the 'net for information (e.g. checking the weather), then this is useless in the general case of "the phone is on my desk next to me while I'm working."
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoWhat is described in the article does not do traffic inspection, it only verifies that all radios are off. I see the argument that there is a use case for the smartphone for taking pictures while operating without radios. But wouldn't a better solution then be a compact digital camera and a notebook? You can invent your own code for note taking that becomes arbitrarily hard to break. You can disguise a compact camera as a smartphone using just a case and a hot glue gun.
