    Hidden radios aren’t even hidden anymore, they’re most likely in your hand right now…

      Why bother hiding them when they can just convince everyone to carry them around. Social engineering has always been so much easier than nefarious hacking. We humans are incredible simple and predictable creatures.

      So, I’m assuming you’re referring to our cell phones? Because they have hidden FM radios in them. Most of them.

            Yes indeed, they all work in different frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, AKA radio frequencies.

    Hey uh, asking for a friend, does anyone know how illegal it is to just walk around with an active, broad spectrum EM jammer on your person?

        Hahaha holy shit that is incredible!

        That actually does pretty directly show how illegal it is.

        For anyone else reading this thread… I am doing a bit, I do not seriously think it would be any kind of a good idea at all to do something like this, I literally just did not know how illegal it is.

        It is obviously rather easy to detect a broad spectrum active jammer, it is obviously quite likely you would be caught, lol.
