Yep, was responsible for enforcing those with employees in a former life <g>.

Have raed recently where there are more medical errors being made in hospitals
because of staffers playing with their
personal comms devices instead of giving attention to
patients in beds.

Had a separate "film badge" I think they called it for that
one, but yes, I had to wear one of those too.  Even if I did spend most of my
time in a lead lined closet i.e. the dark
room.

I avoid it whenever possible these days.

Yeah I know, and I have my quibbles with that, but at least
it's somewhat understandable.  Yet, I"ve had carriers lose
my luggage, and i want my tools *on* my person, hence, no
airplanes involved when I travel.
