Bluetooth Scanners Point Out Your Hidden Devices

Another reason to use Faraday bags for your devices: thieves are using scanners to locate hidden devices so they can quickly steal them- and your data. Criminals use high tech gadgets like scanners to locate your devices and steal them- along with your car. First step: Shut down your devices, at a minimum, if you have to hide and leave them in your locked vehicle. A safer way is to use a Faraday bag to prevent any signal at all from alerting thieves that your device is inside. We keep a variety of sizes handy in case we have to travel and want to make 100% sure that we block cellular, WiFi, bluetooth, RFID, NFC, GPS, or SAT/NAV signals and even protect against EMF and EMP. What should you be able to throw in a bag? Your key fob, phones, tablets, and laptops. I have a tiny Faraday sleeve attached to my keychain and I slip my fob inside as soon as I crank my car. In order for the car to function, the fob has to be removed to unlock and crank the car, and then to switch off and lock it. It’s a habit you can develop to secure your property and give you peace of mind.
