Edward Snowden designed an iPhone attachment that detects unwanted radio
transmissions 

http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/7/21/12247610/edward-snowden-introspection-engine-device-andrew-huang

Snowden, together with hacker Andrew "Bunnie" Huang, announced today at the
MIT Media Lab a design for a case-like attachment to modify an iPhone,
allowing you to monitor if and when the radio transmitters within the
device are active.

Snowden’s argument for the need for such a device is that consumer-side
methods, such as turning off the radios via airplane mode, shutting off the
phone entirely, or even sealing it within a Faraday cage are all not nearly
secure enough.

Snowden and Huang hope that their device will offer security to reporters
in high-risk locations by preventing the monitoring or tracking of phones,
and to ensure that reporters can definitively shut down radio connectivity
but maintain use of the device.

The device, which Snowden and Huang are referring to as an "introspection
engine," consists of an attachment to a modified iPhone that physically
wires into the antennas inside the phone for GPS, Bluetooth, cellular
connectivity, and Wi-Fi through the SIM card slot (moving the SIM card
itself into the external pack). It then can directly monitor radio
transmissions, alert users to any unauthorized output when the radios are
meant to be off, and even offer a kill-switch to immediately shut off the
device.
