Better Leave Your Blackberry And Laptop At Work On Friday

If you are a federal worker, and there's a shutdown, you could still have to go into work on Monday, if only for a few minutes. An administration official tells The Wall Street Journal that non-essential workers would have to come in to hand over any government issued Blackberrys, and laptops. However, the Washington Post reports a top aide at the Office of Management and Budget said that agency has no idea how many personal digital assistants, or PDAs, are even out there. For staffers on Capitol Hill, it's less clear if they could hold on to their electronics, but they're still not supposed to respond to e-mail if there is a shutdown. That's if government-run e-mail even stays up and running.
