As I said, the government is already involved. Is the space inside my private store “public space”? This is where all those libertarian notions fail. The government is involved in hundreds if not thousands of places inside and outside your private vehicle, for one example. How about that mattress tag, huh? I should be free to jam cell phones inside my restaurant, just as I am free, or required by the government for that matter, to ban smoking.

No, your floors, walls and ceilings are your space -- private space. BUT, you can not block the airways which are indeed 'public space' and have been for nearly 100 years since the first radio broadcasts.

You can however tell offending and obnoxious patrons to "take it outside."

Put a sign up that says NO CELL PHONES on your door.
