That's in conflict with the information I have from some time later, but it wouldn't surprise me if they are so incompetent they don't even have a consistent sane policy on phones (put them in a faraday bag at home, not in the parking lot after listing to podcast on the way). Also every modern car has a cell phone that should be disabled.
It wouldn't surprise me at all. Things have to have changed since I was there. Additionally, I was not deeply under cover. The really deeply under cover people can spend a career working for CIA and literally never once come to HQ. I imagine they gv\ave the DO agents different rules.
