I dealt with DOD and DOE classified sites and vendors with classified 
data from activities on those sites.  That was pretty much the  rule.  
If you brought in even a CDROM you couldn't take it out.  Cell phones, 
cameras, PDAs, pretty much anything with electronics didn't get out.  
Watches were OK but I'll bet they aren't now.
