Would carrying around some sort of Wifi disruptor help against this? It would likely have to be a passive persistent effect, not something like an EMP (but those we can reserve for particularly annoying snoopers).

I mentioned this in a another reply, but you just need a microwave oven basically :)

I'm not sure about wifi but cell jamming has been heavily criminalized and tracked

We are already being so criminalized for existing, so what?

wifi jamming would be much more localized and would affect far fewer people than a cell jammer
