    No, I have a smartphone. But I realize they are basically wire taps, and it’s important that some spaces don’t allow them.

      And how will they do that? How will they justify disallowing someone’s ability to call for an ambulance or receive emergency calls from one for whom they function as carer and emergency contact?

      Think.

        Lol wut. You don’t think convention centers have phones on the wall?

        And you think running 100 m to get your cell phone in the lockers outside the event is too far?

        Think

          You don’t think convention centers have phones on the wall?

          Are you talking about phone booths or payphones? How is that going to help if you are in an active shooter scenario and have to run and hide? Are you going to cram into a booth or line up along the walls and make easy target? Again, THINK.

          And you think running 100 m to get your cell phone in the lockers outside the event is too far?

          In the event of an emergency? With people milling about and causing a panic? YES. In an emergency SECONDS count. I get that you are privileged enough to have never been in one, or never had to train for one, but please - think.
