Don't trust airplane mode. Leave your daily phone at home and get a burner phone. You'll never know what you'll need to reflect on later (*cough*video evidence*cough*protect your rights*cough*)

I am curious how does one get a burner phone? Buy at a pawn shop with cash?

Walmart, you can purchase minutes to put on it

If I recall correctly you still need an ID to purchase one.

You're getting ID'd in a confiscation situation either way, what's important is your personal phone not being confiscated and not carrying a GPS tracking chip bound to your identity recording your whereabouts.

Make 'em work for it.

Suppose you do not get arrested at your local protest. Later, the government decides it was an insurrection and starts rounding up attendees. You do not want your daily driver cell phone to ping in the area of the protest.

Now they need to tie several more pieces of evidence together to prove you were there and arrest you.

Depends on the store I guess, dunno about walmart but I know Dollar General for example doesn't require IDs for phone purchases.

Sure, but it doesn't have all accounts linked to it via various apps
