Forwarded by: Dan Verton <Dan_Verton () computerworld com> 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.

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. -----Original Message----- From: InfoSec News [mailto:isn () C4I ORG] Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2001 10:31 PM To: ISN () SECURITYFOCUS COM Subject: [ISN] Pentagon bans wireless from sensitive areas http://www.fcw.com/fcw/articles/2001/0326/web-pent-03-26-01.asp BY Bill Murray 03/26/2001 The Pentagon has begun prohibiting workers in classified meeting areas from using wireless devices unless they disable their transmission capabilities.
