In the News: How to Protect Your Phone From Surveillance
As digital surveillance at protests makes headlines, Mission Darkness faraday bags are being recognized as a must-have for protecting your phone’s location, data, and privacy.
Read this timely article to learn how faraday bags block tracking signals and keep your personal information secure: How to Use a Faraday Bag to Protect Your Location and Privacy at a Protest.
The Mission Darkness™ Non-window Faraday Bag for Phones completely blocks all wireless signals and keeps small electronic devices shielded to prevent hacking, tracking, spying, and chain of custody corruption. When a cell phone is properly enclosed in the bag, no apps or malicious code can be remotely triggered or wiped, no communication can penetrate, and no one can access the microphone, camera, GPS location, or data. Primary uses are for law enforcement and military forensic evidence collection, defense against data theft, personal security, EMP protection, EMF radiation reduction, and to enhance digital privacy.
In addition to law enforcement and military forensic evidence collection, defense against data theft, personal security, EMP protection, EMF radiation reduction, and enhancing digital privacy, the Non-window Faraday Bag offers a critical layer of protection for protesters, activists, journalists, and anyone attending high-risk events where digital surveillance is a concern. Enclosing your phone in the bag prevents real-time location tracking, cell tower pings, rogue IMSI catcher interception, and metadata harvesting—common tactics used by authorities and third parties to monitor and identify participants in public gatherings. The bag helps ensure anonymity, making it a vital tool for safeguarding personal freedom and privacy during protests and demonstrations.
The bag is built with a durable and water-resistant ballistic nylon outer material to ensure that devices and faraday fabric stay dry and protected. The interior includes two layers of high-shielding TitanRF™ Faraday Fabric on all sides with dual paired seam construction. The bag will block all wireless signals such as WiFi (2.4 & 5GHz), Bluetooth, cell signals including 5G networks, GPS, RFID, NFC, and radio signals from low MHz to 40GHz. Additional product features include a double roll with Velcro closure, unique serial number, and transparent branding pocket.
The bag is typically used to shield cell phones, passports, GPS units, transponders, two-way radios, keyfobs, smart watches, and similar size electronics.
Mission Darkness faraday bags have a Velcro-sealable pocket on the back to place a business card or more permanent sticker. There is no need to silkscreen your department information on the bag. If you would like a permanent way to custom brand bags, we can add woven labels during production. Please contact us to discuss options.
Protect your anonymity with our top-rated phone faraday bags—designed specifically for protesters, activists, and anyone serious about digital privacy.

Faraday bags offer a reliable alternative to airplane mode, reducing the risk you’ll be geotagged by rogue towers or passive surveillance devices.
