Turning off your phone doesn’t mean you’ve disappeared. In this episode of the Efani Features Podcast, host Mark Kreitzman sits down with Todd Ariss, physicist and CEO of GoDark Bags, to explore one of the most powerful - yet misunderstood — tools for modern privacy: the Faraday bag.

Todd shares the origin story behind GoDark, how he applied decades of experimental physics to create military-grade shielding for everyday electronics, and why Faraday protection has become essential for privacy-conscious individuals, law enforcement, disaster preppers, and even search & rescue teams.

📴 What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why your phone still tracks you even when it’s turned off
• The science behind Faraday shielding and electromagnetic isolation
• How GoDark Bags are used by the FBI, U.S. military, NATO, and civilian privacy advocates
• Real-world use cases: from avalanche rescues to stopping remote phone wipes at crime scenes
• Why modern protests, prepper communities, and crypto holders are all turning to Faraday tech
• The surprising health and EMF reasons some users carry Faraday bags daily
• How to choose the right Faraday bag - phone, tablet, key fob, crossbody, or duffel
• What EMP protection really means and how GoDark tests for it with independent labs

You’ll also hear why the “off” button on modern smartphones doesn’t actually turn off the radios, and how tech evolution has quietly crept into our lives - removing control while increasing surveillance.
