Yes
One of us! one of us!
I carry one all the time! For the stuff I do it's more useful than a pocket knife and phone lights only get you so far.
If anyone is wondering I use a Streamlight Protac 2L-X at work, and a Sofirn SC-21 out and about.
If it's like other masks I've seen there is a flap or rubber gasket in there that acts as a one way valve. The US military uses M-50s and that's how they work too
It's normally closed. When you breathe in the air is drawn through the mask filter. When you breathe out the pressure pushes the flap open. When your exhale stops there isn't enough pressure to keep it open and the flap seals up again.
Yeah I'm not really trying to hide from the govt, but I would vote on limiting their power if given the chance. Anyway, what I don't want is every corporation I deal with (car, bank, phone, apps, isp, etc) to track me so excessively.
If the govt did get curious it would take zero leg work, just ask those companies that are very willing to hand over my data to damn near anyone, or hold onto it long enough to have it stolen.
So with that in mind limiting corporate surveillance and limiting ease of govt surveillance is essentially the same thing, but the govt has the ability to put in the work and get you if they really wanted to.
