Is that new iOS 8 encryption an effective defense against the so-called "ISMI catcher" surveillance that's been in the news lately now that a new phone has been released that detects such snooping?

The article linked above said that in only 2 days of driving around DC recently, the following locations appeared to have surveillance devices trying to trick cellphones into thinking they were connecting to their carrier when in fact they were connecting to a device that was collecting their data.
