The plastic dissolves in acetone, this is a neo not a 4: http://www.hexview.com/~scl/neo/

Found that link - though even after getting the Neo's circuit board exposed I didn't think it was as simple as "connecting the pins and reading the key out". Op also specifically says yubikey 4 :)

How poignant is it for the HTTP server displaying you this page to continue responding to HTTP GET no matter how much the humans request it? It just doesn't have anthropomorphic shape so it will never be referred to as 'him'

Well hopefully it would be an impetus to learn to swim instead of instigating dangerous situations that floatation devices put non-swimmers in.

There are building materials that naturally block/reflect/absorb mobile frequencies which is perfectly legal.

That is different from transmitting a signal to jam which is highly illegal.

One other trick is to advertise as a cell and accept connections, then just black-hole them.

Full signal strength but no calls.

Edit: may be illegal in your jurisdiction if you require a license to transmit on cell frequencies.
