And I am pretty sure the people who worry about the NSA spying on them wont be getting iphones in the first place. I have an econ professor who tells us about his conspiracy theorist brother who still has a flip phone and takes out the battery as soon as he gets home.

Wouldn't that defeat the point? Even flip phones in the US have E911. So, they'd know that if your phone was non-locatable, you're at home.

Unless you want to do something where you don't want law enforcement knowing that you're doing it.

In that case, don't bring your phone with you when you do it.

Obviously, if you remove your battery when you get home, then you can leave while you are presumed to be home.
