[FedCom] Cell Phones ON at POTUS event?

[john-k1rc at juno.com]

Is it possible to pole the active phones for the numbers and therefor
know who is at the rally by checking out the owners of the
phones? -And- gleening any other info from the phones???
Wouldn't put it past 'em.

Just a thought,
John  K1RC

It was pretty dull, but here's the interesting part. Before the speech
started, they requested that everyone have their cell phones turned ON
during the speech. I'm honestly perplexed as to why this could be.
This obviously confused more people than just myself, as someone else
asked to clarify - indeed, they wanted all of our phones on.
