“Fellow patrons had their cellphones temporarily confiscated to prevent pictures from being taken.”

From the Post, too, not just this website...

The story originally came from the NY Post’s Page Six, along with a really ugly photo of Queen Obama:

This reminds me of a recent experience. On returning from an overseas flight, we were sternly advised on the plan that we were prohibited from taking photos, making calls, or recordings between getting off the plane, and passing through immigration. We were told that devices used would be confiscated and not returned. Did Congress pass a law, or is the ICE just another rogue agency making its own laws?

Are you trying to incite anti-Obama rhetoric here, Newbie?

Illegal search and seizure is against the Constitution.

Since it’s an Obama, maybe it’s true.

The O'Bammies are going to Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon on "free admission" weekend next week.

Are they going to grab all of the tourists' cameras too?

Michelle Malkin is now carrying the story on her website: http://michellemalkin.com/2009/08/07/no-snitching-on-michelle-obama-allowed/

Now, try to tell me again the story is “fake”.

No pickle for me here. I would have been polite, but I would have refused. Let them arrest me! They could put my buns into jail. I would cut them no mustard. I would relish sharing a cell with Hamburgler!

My phone isn’t a wide screen so I couldn’t have fit a pic of her in there anyway.

I googled it and found a couple of sites with the story, It appears our First Lady dosn’t want her picture taken at the trough.

I heard this story was made up.

The photo on the link shows a gauntlet of patrons snapping away.

I doubt if that’s true. Narcissist that she is, she most likely ordered cell phones to be distributed so people could take pictures of her.
