Does anyone know if this has been (or could be) implemented at a software (firmware?) level for meshtastic devices?

Nope. We are broadcasting below 1 watt.

A noicy air conditioner could, in theory, jam our nodes. Ive seen it with satelite ground stations. Or a big enough tree.

Plrase someone prove me wrong but thats my understanding.

What about some state entities at protests?

Everything will be jammed and everything will be MitMed.

Unless you're very well funded against a state, you don't have a real chance.

Plus meshtastic has no forward secrecy. It's already vulnerable to store and decrypt attacks.
