Store and forward any audio it picks up. Why stick to GPS when your location can be triangulated by cross referencing the sounds around you? E.G. A fire engine/ambulance, school bus with loud children or garbage truck passing by at a particular time or the voice of someone else who's cell isn't protected and is being monitored.
Software to accomplish these things already exist.
- mikegioia 13y agoYea I understand what you mean now. I would still say that's a little aggressively paranoid given the nature of this pouch, but you're right -- the makers of the pouch seem to imply that you're "safe" when your phone's inside which apparently isn't 100% true.
- eksith 13y agoOh yes, it's definitely on the paranoid side. I would argue that an old fashioned feature phone with the battery removed is a much cheaper alternative, but the point of these items, I believe, is more symbolic than functional. I mean, if you think about it, someone wearing one of those hoodies... they don't really care about the fashion statement or even the "protection" they offer. The reality is that someone wearing that would stand out like a sore thumb, and I think that's part of the point. It's more of a conspicuous protest in plain sight without being disruptive. Maybe that's the real sales pitch all along. A bit of "I am Spartacus" with a high-tech woven mesh and face hiding.
