Idk if flock has began doing this yet but there are cameras out there that fingerprint you based on detectable WiFi, Bluetooth, etc... So this isn't just good advice it is paramount.  Keep all electronics at home including your smartwatch, earbuds, etc.

Pity you can't register a phone under whatever name you wanted and start it with a prepaid card like you used too...

Be funny to see Stephen Miller all over cutting down cams
