What are the logistics for a "twice daily check in switch" when you're in prison? Seems that it would be obvious to anyone who his contacts were after a couple days.
To my knowledge. Cells phones are common place in jails at least in the US for the right people.
Unless he's checking in with a third party, that would be a terrible Idea as those phones are traced and tapped, especially in his case.
Even if he called a third party, still terrible for the same reasons.
So to me were left with a few options.
1)larp
2)he changed the switch design
3)he already released to white hats (or I guess to be more general anyone but we hope white hats)
