Title should be "Turn off your Fitbit, Garmin, Apple watch GPS in operational areas"
- inetknght 8y agoIf an adversary knows a person is a member of a sensitive agency, then everywhere they go can become an operational area. Security doesn't just stop at the checkpoint.

By producing or removing signal, above what would have occurred normally information, leaks out of the system.

- orhmeh09 8y agoI just bought a Fitbit Alta HR and it cannot be turned off. Letting the battery run out is all you can do, and presumably the battery life is on the longer side.
- brlewis 8y agoAccording to https://www.fitbit.com/compare https://www.fitbit.com/compare Alta HR doesn't even borrow your phone's GPS ("Connected GPS"). Surge and Ionic are the only Fitbit trackers with their own GPS, which is turned off most of the time anyway.
