Geez Buffy, I was under the impression that there was no “riff raff” on this island!
Justification my ass.
How's that work when he's at the White House? It's not a big place.
um ... a cell phone is less 'dangerous' private property than say a gun which was allowed in the One's presence.
Obvious the problem was CAMERAS. Most phones have cameras, so they were taken from anyone in sight, or even close thereto, along with all non-phone cameras.
“I wonder why they didnt simply jam cell phone and other frequencies if they were worried about a remote bomb.”
Yup, they could have used a “Mr. Wizard” to make sure you couldn’t transmit, and then people could keep their phones.
This is a first amendment violation, plain and simple.
LOL - my father was a bacteriologist - he said that during WWII when they couldn't get supplies of the medium normally used for growing bacteria, they would use Hellmans/Best Foods mayonnaise. He said it was probably the best natural growing medium for all sorts of bacteria. If we left a jar of mayonnaise open for 10 minutes, he threw it out, and he wouldn't eat anything with mayonnaise in it unless he knew how the stuff had been stored and handled. Seemed weird at the time, but he'd seen a lot of salmonella in his work. Curiously, he liked rare meat. But, he was fastidious about how it was handled and stored. We had surgical/antibacterial soap in the house long before it was commercially available.
Cell phones can be used for remote detonations, so.... there might be justification.
Actually!I think the Public Needs to be protected from Obama and his goons.
How can anyone NOT know where a President is? Especially when he's out "in public". I mean he only travels with a hugh entourage. The line of black SUV's and SS agents is a dead giveaway.
Your Dad was right - back in my own path lab days (thirty years ago) that’s exactly what we’d use. I won’t touch the stuff to this day.
Yes, but it also looks exactly like Yul Brynner playing the pharaoh in “The Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston.
THink...Leaky Leahy and what he said about Osama....
They don't want any more of these kind of photos which cause people to comment on Aunt Esther's sloppy appearance and speculate whether she has five or six toes.
Wee Wee’s Big Adventure.
All POTUS’ have taste testers of food but the confiscating cell phones is elitist.
BTW: Isn’t 0bama always going on about eating healthy?
PETA needs to know he ate hamburgers.
I have to disagree with you Laz.
I'm sitting in a hamburger joint, enjoying my burger, and suddenly some guy in a suit with a badge demands that I turn over my phone. Screw that!
she looks like Oprah with no make-up.
“This makes me sick. Gawd, I hope we arent treated to chelle in a swimsuit.”
You don’t get that junk in the trunk from eating lettuce.
The Secret Service confiscated all cameras too.
