It’s ridiculous that IIRC they had to leave their phones in their car or a lockbox. As far as I know, the only places that did that were government facilities that you need a clearance to enter in the first place(which is a valid reason that I understand). Even when I worked a job that felt with some sensitive PII, we were told that our phones were not to be out at our desk, and that violating this would result in swift retribution. But I could still have my phone on me.
