Briar is an interesting messaging app that utilizes tor and can communicate locally in case larger scale networks are down or undesirable. The need for an always-on inbox might detract slightly, but if used for real-time event communication, it would be very secure and useful. Couldn't have been shut down in #Tahrir Square or Hong Kong's Umbrella Revolution. No reason bluetooth can't be secured like LTE and wireless, although perhaps more easily scanned for than cellular.

#LoRa (although not part of Briar) is also of interest for local communication and can serve as a method to carry encrypted messages.
