Al Gore Talks Cell Phones -- And Bans The Press, Again

Gore pulled the same stunt last year at 2008 RSA security conference. And we don't even know why he banned press from RSA -- word of the speech got out, of course, and Gore's talk turned out to be the same old stump speech about global warming he always gives.

But consider this: It's a mobile phone conference, meaning everyone there will probably have a top-shelf portable device for capturing audio, video, you-name-it on their person. Gore can ban whomever he likes, but word will get out. Consider it an inconvienent truth.
