This wasn't always the case, but an order was entered about a year or two ago allowing attorneys to enter with the phones. The order is on the court's website. The Federal Marshals are very strict about it. They have a roster at the checkpoint with every attorney's name who is authorized to practice before the court. If one is not on the list, proof of being an attorney must be shown or the phone is seized or it has to be taken back outside. As an aside, the federal courts lag far behind our state courts in allowing the press to report properly. Even in our Mississippi state courts, television and recording are now allowed. The federal courts seem to operate in a cloak of secrecy. Lawyers are allowed to bring in computers and cell phones into federal court in North Mississippi.
