When someone finds one of these simulators, what would they do?
Whatever you do, you shouldn't accidentally spill saltwater on it. That could destroy a very expensive piece of spying equipment, and would be a terrible, tragic accident that could interfere with the advance of nazism.

Based on this link, the proper thing to do should be to report it to the FCC. I am not sure how much Trump's FCC will pay attention to the report, though....
Report it to your favorite news media ig
Also alert your friends/colleagues that there are IMEI/IMSI scanners at the event, so that they can prepare accordingly by leaving their phone at home, putting it in a farraday bag, etc.
It doesn't matter if there are IMSI catchers or not, they should be leaving their phones at home.

Someone needs to document the event. 🙂
There's no shortage of professional photographers and videographers

See IDF shooting journalists.

Find your anarchist friend with excess radio equipment and let them know.
