It's hard to know if your phone isn't sending and receiving data when you put it in airplane mode or toggle Wi-Fi off. Faraday bags are made of a conductive metallic fabric that blocks signals from reaching whatever is inside. They make sure your devices aren't shaking hands with Wi-Fi hotspots, cellular towers, RFID readers, and Bluetooth beacons, you can use a bag to hide them. If you want to temporarily go incognito, using a Faraday bag is better than leaving your phone behind. - How To Geek
There are dozens of different brands of Faraday bags. This model costs under $15. (DemLabs makes no recommendations of one brand over another).

Thank you Deepak. I especially appreciated your information on cell phones. That's exactly why I've never had one. Growing up in the Sixties and Seventies, I learned it's not a good idea to come to the attention of the FBI or police.
