Phone Ban

[darmstadt]

I've been to a lot of sites where I've had to turn my mobile (we call them handys here BTW) off, particularly secure sites. When I worked at the Porsche development and test center, if your phone had a camera you had to leave it with security otherwise okay. Interestingly enough where I am now there are no cameras allowed but it doesn't say anything about phones with cameras. When I was working at IBM in Poughkeepsie last year no cameras were allowed yet we used one to do screen captures of SMITTY on AIX systems...

It's not unheard of. One of my clients has a total ban on mobile phones at their site. You leave them in lockers at reception. Last person caught on site with a mobile was arrested by the old bill. Mind you, they make bombs so it's not surprising really.
