Shit, a mobile DoS hub sounds like it would still be a good use case for the cops / FBI / DHS to "shut off" local internet.

Wait, so does this mean that if you were being monitored with a stringray, your phone would just be a brick without access to mobile network data (calls, texts, data) etc? that seems like a huge giveaway???
