FWIW: Did not pick up any Cell Site Simulators (CSS/Stingrays) at #NoKings in Queens (FH)

Black handheld device with a small screen. The screen has text and icons with a green bar at the top, indicating that no Stingrays have been detected. The device is an Orbic RC400L.

A couple notes on this non-finding:
* Could be false-negative
* There are other methods of surveillance

This is consistent with what EFF has found previously. They did a write up on it here -> https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/09/rayhunter-what-we-have-found-so-far?language=en

Rayhunter: What We Have Found So Far

Rayhunter is a program that runs on a variety of mobile hotspots and watches for cell-site simulators—a tool police use to locate or identify people's cell phones, also known as IMSI catchers or Stingrays. This project is a testament to the power and impact of open source and community driven counter-surveillance.
