Cell Phones of State

The State Dept Press Briefing today: MR. RUBIN: I'm sorry I didn't come earlier, and I didn't know that cell phones were permitted in the briefing room, but I guess they are. Remember that phrase "cell phones", it will come back in the next 24 hours. Nothing else about it during the briefing. Curious, unless it refers to the Senate's approval on April 1 of S.493, The Wireless Telephone Protection Act, which incorported amendments by the House of HR 2460, and that Clinton is expected to sign it shortly. Still, maybe State is going to announce something more dramatic about SIGINT. See S.493: http://jya.com/s493.txt
