We believe this policy will not work because it rests on a misunderstanding of the underlying technology
This policy is based on outdated and misinformed technological assumptions, making it unfeasible to implement and enforce. Security tools like Flipper Zero are essentially programmable radios, known as Software Defined Radios (SDRs), a technology which has existed for years, and in some cases can be built using open-source or simple over-the-shelf-components. These radios are also fundamentally the same as those used in numerous devices across various sectors, including smart household appliances, drones and aerospace technologies, mobile phones and networks, as well as industrial control systems. Consequently, prohibiting such functionality is virtually impossible and could stifle the Canadian economy significantly.
