I agree. I worked in a SCIF during the same timeframe and it was
standard policy not to carry cell phones or pagers into the SCIF. And
it was vigorously enforced.

I certainly wouldn't have tried to bring one of those devices into the
NMJIC or NMCC at the Pentagon either. It was common knowledge.

"The Pentagon has begun prohibiting" Begun? I worked in a SCIF in
the early 90's and that policy was already vigorously enforced.
Looks like someone's trying to pass off old policy as new news.

The Pentagon has begun prohibiting workers in classified meeting areas
from using wireless devices unless they disable their transmission
capabilities.
