That is what all units in USSOCOM do. No personal cell phones, smart watches, etc allowed in the office. Guests have lock boxes outside main entrance to secure their phone.

About once a week security folks wander through the offices looking for phones with some type of detector. God help the person who brought their phone in.

Few years ago I worked at an oil refinery in Scotland, the rules were the same - no personal phones on site, if you were found with one you'd get in deep trouble.

You may have seen people doing the two minute sprint then?

That's when you check the TOTP code on your phone, put it back on the stack of phones, and race as fast as you can back to your desk to enter the code before it expires.
