till they are necessary to deploy them, it might be too late then. Furthermore, governments will try to make possession of the devices at all illegal, so techniques need to be
developed to obfuscate them, and be able to kill them quickly when authorities come to find them so they can't be sniffed out by their emissions. Apps used to communicate with devices
need plausible deniability. Perhaps encrypted partitions that look like just unused space. Also, it would be great to get crypto TXs to transmit over these meshes as well. Then not
only will you be able to converse freely, but transact freely, regardless of your status or any requirements of permission from governments.
