FBI agents are allowed to bring their phone in a SKIF. They do it all the time. I saw it when I was there.
were they FBI issued phones or their personal phones?
I can see them allowing FBI issued phones, though I don’t agree with the security practice! (I don’t think there should be any cell phones in a SCIF!) Certainly no personal phones!
I bet money they “relax” those SCIF requirements for the Big People.
Remember in Orwell’s “1984” that Winston was shocked when O’Brien turned off his Telescreen? Oh, they have privileges...indeed. That passage from a book written in 1949 didn’t come from nowhere!
