If a device is used on the airwaves in the cell phone bands to emulate a tower, then necessarily, it will have to have a transmitter. Is the device type registered by the FCC, does each emulator have a site license? Does each operator have a license to operate the device?
If it is a "cell phone test device" then it must be associated with a properly licensed technician.
The legal requirements to simply operate the device include much more than the rights of the person of interest. For that reason alone, the concealment of the use of the device would be reason enough to throw out any information obtained from it, even before any case law is considered.
IANAL, but I have had 6 different FCC licenses, and have had to jump through many hoops. (I think only 3 are current now).

It might be just a little more than just a game changer.
Stop thinking about computers as boxes with wires, screens and disks, and start thinking about building the nervous system of a human being. Our bodies use distributed computing all over the place, with the vagus nervous system for the organs, with their own chemical memories, and feedback loops, the localized muscle memory systems for arms, legs, fingers, locally stored programs that run semi-autonomously.
If you read about memristors on Wikipedia, you can begin to see the possibilities of interfacing with biologic systems, and the newer bioligic chemical sensors within the organs, and appendages. Distribute local semi-dedicated processors with the distributed memory systems, and now we're talking about leaps ahead for automotons, and robotics. Who needs a stupid file oriented operating system, when the information needed for a process is stored locally.
Unix is so yesterday, as well as any other file orientated storage system.
How do you organize your brain? Do you have file cabinets, with tabs, disks? pictures? No, it's some sort of random access sensory system that relates to previously accessed information. Something like the memristors they are talking about.
It's coming down to defining the complete application, before building the actual machine itself.
I imagine early prototypes may be in a metal box with wires, but interface is going to be a new problem. Most likely all fibre connections before connecting directly to sensors and embedding sensory processing at the sensor itself -- -- and so on.

I have a fair amount of confidence that if he were freed, we'd read an article about his sad, untimely death within a couple of years. You know, those strange suicides where they shot themselves 3 times in the head. Maybe a tragic car crash. The powers that be have good resources and plenty of plausible deniability.
I don't think it would take any "powers that be" to do the job.
The research institution does not give this stuff to publishers for free, they get their percentage too. So in addition to the publishers disappearing from existence, the researchers, or institutions lose their cut, too.
I guess we should be able to get this stuff for free, and the individuals, or institutions should give up their additional source of income.
It is always possible to collect data, and simply save it. Nobody has to search, nobody has to listen. Until, maybe a year or two later, when a PERIOD of Interest is identified, which reduces what is to be searched immensely.
"THAT", (a wired board), is vastly easier to debug than any modern software. In fact a trainee can usually debug it by trial an error in just a few minutes. Now get off my digital lawn whipersnapper!
Except when you get 2 bad plugs, or jacks, or a backside solder joint cracks.
Can take an hour or two to fix it.
I seem to remember it taking about 45 minutes for someone else to go over the programming sheet, and check the plugs (including coffee).
At the very least it's very much open to a Man in the Middle attack.
Not quite, The transaction terminal sends the time of day to the card. The card uses it's internal key, encrypts the TOD, and sends it back to the transaction terminal as verification.
Using "man in the middle" it is not possible to encrypt a new TOD that will be acceptable.
Simple, but as secure as the encryption algorithm, and key size
Financing the buyback with debt is a tiny bit worrisome, but Apple's probably just taking advantage of the low interest rates their high credit rating and hoard of cash afford them.
Short term financing vs. long term financing. Borrowing money today, when they can probably get it somewhere less than 2% interest, vs a future interest of 7% (or more) within the next 5 years, is not a bad bet. It's called "putting the cash to work". Cash just sitting in the bank doesn't make anything.
Taking this position, if they maxed out their value, they could shut down sales for a year, do research, and still survive. With Apple's strength it is a wise move.
This is all about good financial management. and nothing about products.
I am going to call BS on this one. These are indication systems. Think of smashing your speedometer and turning the needle with pliers and expecting the car to go faster.
Remote control is not a direct connect. It follows communications paths, and the information and control path apparently connects through the internet, both through the display and control path.
No one needs direct connection within the airplane -- all ya need to do is control it through the internet, at any receiver path, and any transmitting path. with additional directional antenna paths.
Can't do it from onboard, has to be from a remote site, and will involve additional receiver and transmit packages, not included on the android phone. (don't even have to be near the android used for control).
I wonder what would happen if US colleges (or even earlier in our educational system) let students have free reign, and really specialize.
Then maybe the US would continue to rein over the rest of the planet indefinitely.
Or until a year later, their narrow minded specialization became obsolete, with the new graduating class.
I studied communications: vacuum tubes, teletype, rotary switches -- all the modern stuff of the time. Even had 2 weeks of transistor theory, a promising new technology, suitable mostly for portable radios at the time.
Because of those unwanted "required" electives I took philosophy and logic (totally of no use in electronics), although some of it applied to math in a nonsensical way.
And then the world changed. And fourier analysis came along, and then a to d developed, and then multiplex signals happenned for missile instrumentation and then digitization happened, and then it became possible to do discrete analysis of complex waveforms in real time.
Too narrow minded in college leaves you ultimately with the workers laid off in the steel mills, with no transferable skills.

But throwing a warning up is going to cause fear, uncertainty and doubt.
People should live with a bit more of all three.
Personally I think the colour scheme is simply wrong.
Color coding is so 20th century --
Why not just play a suitable laugh track audio alarm.
It sounds like a really, really good place to put the massive NSA data collection to some good useful purpose for the citizens.
There might be some justification, after all, if we can get rid of the robocallers.

Won't this just put a greater load on the Wifi transmitters, or dampen the signal ?
It will take about as much power as a mirror does sucking the power out of a light bulb.
I know it's time to upgrade, friggin Java active pages, and this video freezes a single core machine.
It might be just a little more than just a game changer.

So not all homeopathy is bullshit or contains mostly water or uses snake poison or any of that nonsense..
Throw enough crap against the wall, and some of it will stick.
Hammering a screw with an IDE means job security in government work.
. Or you could buy an LED bulb for $15 (or whatever) and get a nickel back each month.
It's gonna cost a helluva lot to ship all those nickels.
Guess who else gets a cut of that pie.

I believe the average cost per mile for a highway is anywhere between $2M - $6M.
So yeah, $50k is nothing.
That quote would be good for a two lane in the early eighties, outside the city.

Ever wonder how troops serving abroad in remote locations and even underwater might get to watch the Super Bowl?
No, I'm more concerned at the already over-inflated military budget being spent on watching a fucking football game.
Ever wonder how much it costs to get a contractor to the services to do a network wide test of high data rate services?
Watch a ball game, and get a system wide test for free.
If GMO is so safe, why do the food-industry fight so hard to avoid labelling the products?
Because they don't want to include a 2 pound book required by labeling requirements and explanations with every one pound of canned beans.
Will a cauliflower virus attack my smelly feet, or what?
Just maybe it might make cauliflower edible
mosaic cauliflower -- that new purple stuff is the result. Next thing you know they'll make white lumpy beets or something.

2 + 2 = 5, for very large values of 2
You lose, Robin.
From the original "2 + 2 = 5 for SUFFICENTLY LARGE values of 2"
Simple to prove, with a question: "how large a cup does it take to hold 2 heaping cups of flour taken twice from the barrel?"
