If I recall correctly, what this software is capable of doing is not what the Stringray debacle was about.

While the Stringray could also be used as a passive sniffer, the FBI Stringray debacle was about it being used as an active fake cell site, in proximity to a target, to intercept communications.

if you control the access point, you can block or modify traffic. listen to the traffic and get inside.
