In my, admittedly naive, understanding is that cel towers have signatures. For instance, using Tasker for Android, I can know when I'm near home by the tower it detects. When the Stingray overpowers that tower, can't I just have a tasker task or an app or something that would detect that and shut down my celphone?
*Note: I don't really need this, but if the law wants a tech fight, they should get one.

To me this just reinforces the need for strong copyleft like GPLv3 and reveals the glaring insufficiencies of GPLv2 and BSD-esque licenses. Stallman was and is right, he was just a man ahead of his time. Those who recognize this and work towards freeing themselves and their users will be ahead of the game when the dystopian future hits.
Most people won't understand this until everyone else plugs in Apple iBrain. I won't be touching my neurons with anything but GPLv5.
Which would be an amusing scene; cars full of people with laptops and phones, sitting around a telephone pole, or wherever they mount the damned things.
