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.

Hang on while I fly up and spill water on a fucking plane or the side of a private building.

You're thinking of magnets. That's how you ruin magnets.

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.

Or use GrapheneOS in airplane mode.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's probably best case scenario but I have one and left it at home last time.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Someone needs to document the event. 🙂

There's no shortage of professional photographers and videographers

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

And a camera makes you the prime target for a fascist force.

See IDF shooting journalists.

All the more reason...

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