What is the point of stringrays anyway? It's a thing that exists, so I believe it does something, but I can't figure out what exactly.
They can go through the area, catch a whole bag of IMSIs and then.... what? What capability does it enable? Knowing when a certain person of interest shows up in a certain locality? Can't they get it from the phone company without a warrant anyways, just by asking nicely? If it's not targeted, what the data is even used for theoretically?
