is it too hard to follow a simple rule? you are the main reason IT people like me have to implement network access control - diasble access to users' CD/DVD/USB drives, set up Citrix and cripple it so people don't do stupid stuff.
i have client's who spend $500-$600 on a Dell then pay me to lock it down so it's a dumb@$$ terminal client that's worth $5. just b/c some folks can't follow the rules. /rant

I work for the DOD and it makes a big deal, if you get caught it is a Federal Offense, not only do you lose your job, you lose your clearence and a lot of bad things can happen, the Governement can impound all of your Computer Hardware at home because there is no way of telling if you took photos and then brought them home, the collect external hard drives, just about everything, not to mention you could go to prison.
However you need to check with your direct CO, there are other alternatives but only a Director can guide you.

Why not get a cheap phone sans camera to transfer your SIM card to when at work? After work, plop your SIM back into your iPhone.

Just kidding..... I was the back up photographer on one of the subs I was on. It was the BIGGEST pain in the butt going in and out of the "classified" areas.
Some of the pictures i took were freaking awesome though.
Google around.
There's a company that will remove the iPhone camera for a price, just for those in situations like yours.
Assuming that having your iPhone with you is that important, of course.
Otherwise, yeah, get a spare cheap-o phone for work.

I would if I were you. What's the big deal.
Brought to you by the millions of people looking for a job.
AWESOME response!
OP: Let's think about this. Your Defense Contractor job yields how much per month? In your little cost benefit analysis did unemployment outweigh taking your cool phone to work? If so, you know the answer.
op.........how did you obtain your clearance with your poor integrity shown in this thread. im curious
Yeah, because everyone spends each and every single minute at work actually working and doesn't need any contact with the outside world.
The world's most greenest phone, Moto W233 Renew is a phone without a camera. Came out early this year. Made completely out of recyclable plastic, I call it a hippie phone.
Many sites allow phones as long as you are not in an actual SCIF. There will usually be a table or locker to leave your phone next to the visitor log before heading in. If you go into an office (outside of the SCIF) and close the door to have a classified conversation, you are supposed to turn your phone off. I usually just left my phone on my desk so that if someone needed to have a classified conversation while I was gone they could shut my phone off.
For the OP, you can get a non-camera phone on eBay for $10 + shipping and swap your SIM. That's what I did when I was at Smith & Wesson and later in DoD contracting.
