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.

We had a table that everyone would leave their cell phones on. This was true
even for dumb phones. We had a shredder for CDs. Well, more of a grinder,
really. We would also take hard drives apart and store the platters until
they could be sent to the destruction facility.
