Most of the secure government facilities I've been into have a strict policy that absolutely nothing that can or does output a signal is permitted into the building. That means cellphones, two-way pagers, you name it. The official reason I was told was that such a device may 'accidentally' transmit classified information out of the facility. But I suspect the real reason is so that any signal they detect that they don't know about can be treated as hostile. DS
