   Yeah but you can't really get away with those for long, especially in DC.
   
   I bet they could find you in less than an hour in DC.

     @adam They've just realized that cell jammers are cheap on eBay and Alibaba. GPS jammers, too.

     Wow https://www.cbsnews.com/news/senators-issued-satellite-phones-new-security-measures/

     There's something interesting about this article that I noticed. At the end of the article, they explain specific threats to justify these satellite phone: physical attacks with a hammer/baseball bat.

     What's strange about this? Having a sat phone doesn't make them any safer than having a cell phone. It's completely unrelated to "an emergency that takes out communications in part of America".
