“Almost every government office now posts that cell phones are prohibited and must be turned off. The odd thing is that the rule does not apply to the workers, just the public who pays their salaries.”
Isn’t that the truth? I had a discussion about that with a security guard at my courthouse when I went to renew my CCW. I forgot and had my cell with me and had to walk 3 blocks back to put the cell in my car before I could enter. It is an outrage how the public is being treated as second class citizens and often as criminals while those we pay “i.e. public servants” are treated as royalty and walk away with our gold. That’s the way it used to be in the Soviet Union where the bureaucrats were the elite.
Not only that, just try to find a physical address for any federal building in your phonebooks. Every office location has been omitted from entry. There will be a phone number listing for a recording, but not for the location.
