I guess everybody heard by now of the
NSA Files that courageous Snowden shared with the world including the
X-KEYSCORE NSA program that collects "nearly everything a user does on the internet" but what about preventing them (or your partner or parents) from tracking you when you move around using your device's pings to the cell towers, WiFi, GPS or Location Services or those pesky CIA drones spying you from way up in the sky?
What if your anti-paranoia medicine is not working?
Well some imaginative entrepreneurs saw an opportunity and are working on developing some Stealth Wear & device pockets "functioning as something known as a
Faraday cage, a space where radio waves cannot pass through, preventing the penetration of signals that transmit data and audio. It replicates the
refrigerator trick that Edward J. Snowden used to keep his cellphone from transmitting information about where he was staying".

Stealth Wear Aims to Make a Tech Statement
I wonder what she is wearing under that hoodie because she's hot as the infrared image shows.
And don't wear that in Florida as you may get legally shot.

NYT article about Off Pocket & more:
Stealth Wear, Coming to a Store Near YouSure, you can disable everything in you smartphone that shows where you are but that pouch is much quicker for doing it on the fly without having to re-enable everything when you want to get back on the grid.
They have a huge potential market as the NSA, CIA and other agencies including in other countries like UK are spying on the entire world.

Some of the location data recorded by your Apple device as you moved around is copied to your computer when you connect to iTunes in
hidden files
and copied back to the device after a restore or flashing the iOS firmware & connecting back to iTunes.
Try this to see what I am talking about:
iOSTracker.Net for Windows "displays the recorded location information from your iOS version 4.X Devices Backups
on your computer that were done by iTunes".
Or
iPhone Tracker for Mac OS: "This open-source application maps the information that your iPhone is recording about your movements. It doesn't record anything itself,
it only displays files that are already hidden on your computer."
