BurnerPhones

For "I don't want these people to have my number" this stuff is fine. Assuming you want a burner phone to defeat state-level agencies it's a little more complex then that.

1. Never user your burner at home, work or near your existing phone. We know that location traces are a thing. You have to assume that if you are buying a burner phone, a state-level agency (police department, FBI, DEA etc) is already interested in surveilling you. If you are like most other people you already have a phone tied to your identity either by the method of payment, name on the account, address or other identifier. If you are like most other people, and you don't want to increase suspicion, you don't turn off your regular phone for long periods of time. If they are tracking your existing phone location (which does not require a warrant) and your Burner is active in the same location, your burner is now connected to your identity, and what ever you do with the burner is now compromised. 
2. Only use cash & be irregular when buying airtime. The airtime purchases are location and time stamped. if you always buy minutes from the same place or when you buy groceries, there is a point for surveillance to gather information and close the net. 
3. Be sure that the places you are buying minutes from are away from your home and/or workplace. 
4. Never, ever, ever use a card to buy minutes or the phone. If you are in an organization that is using burners (A medical marijuana dispensary that cares about privacy) different members can buy minutes cards and then trade them to confound location information even more. 
5. Activation. This might be a no-brainer but do not use your personal or work computer to activate the phone, or manage it in any way. Go to the library or other public computer. 
6. Misinformation Feature phones are still able to be pinpointed to 100', There are really not any more secure then smartphones. 
7. Consider the cheap smartphone, I've seen Moto E phones for less then $20, and they give you the advantage of being able to use TextSecure/Signal (which encrypts SMS and voice end-to-end) and Tor for internet communications. 
8. Personally I find the keyboard and other features faster and easier to use then a feature phone. Of course you need to be sure any accounts you link are pseudonymous and that no other features are tied to you. 
9. Remember to forget your phone. When using your burner, we mentioned that you don't want to have your usual phone nearby. 
10. While you can turn one off and then turn the other on (hopefully after you've moved and are in a public space with other people), it is better to leave your usual phone on, at home or work. Maybe in the pocket of a friend who is going somewhere else.

Arsenal Planes

 "Carter’s arsenal-plane concept is consistent with years of study and technology-development pointing toward a two-tier air-combat force for the near future, one in which stealth fighters act as forward sensors, designating targets for non-stealthy aircraft — F-15s and bombers — carrying much larger payloads.":

The problem with this as as soon as you network a stealthy platform, it loses it's stealth capacity. Pinpointing radio transmitters is not terribly difficult. And listening for them, even if the communication stream is encrypted, is easier still. The stealth platforms would need laser communications (pretty difficult for maneuvering aerial platforms) or some sort of very tight beam satellite uplink (and I'm not even sure about that one)

On the ground you can use laser relays or wired networking. In the air, this fails the plausibility test. Radio silence (including spread spectrum and other standard networking base layers) is the only way to maintain the element of stealth.

Ping

I'm still here. I knocked off the Mr Robot updates because I don't know if they were helping or not. Plus I binged 5-10 and just couldn't keep up the pace :)

More stuff to come when inspiration strikes.

Random stuff:

Mr Robot is good, and I want to watch it again. Jessica Jones is pretty damn great in a scary way. Editing Wikipunk and writing posts gets wearing. I know I should do it more. I bought another set of shelves for the lab and computer room. I'm a little afraid of them and need to figure out how to secure them to the wall. I also bought shelves for the Funco Pop vinyl toys we've been getting from various crate/boxes. Chapter 2 of MGSV is wicked hard. But maybe I'm just relying too hard on the best items that have been coming in as I unlock decent staff.
