Practical Civics, 3rd Period - Friday
It was Friday and, regardless of the fair going on, the class of dumpster fire politics was still happening.
On the plus side, there were kitties.
"So, today we're going to talk about disregarding security in order to make a political statement," Tony said, sighing as a cat rubbed against his foot.
Steve was holding his coffee up over his head to stop a determined kitty from knocking it from the desk again.
"It's not listed in the Constitution, but it's part of common sense: some matters of government business need to be kept secret from other nations. No one but us has our own interests at heart."
And even that didn't seem certain right now.
"Ish," Tony muttered. Helpfully. "So, hypothetically, you have an area that cannot be watched or listened to by outside powers. But only if you follow rules about not bringing unsecured electronic devices inside of it."
"You have to make it Tony Stark proof," Steve said, smiling fondly at Tony. "Which means absolutely no electronic devices allowed in it, plus barriers inside the walls to make it so nothing can get through."
"I could probably get through still," Tony said, looking thoughtful. "But that's not important. In this hypothetical, someone in a position of power ignores all those things."
"And in a clear publicity stunt, since a bunch of the idiots with were already supposed to be inside, attending the meeting, they went into the secure room with their electronic devices," Steve said. "Today we're going to discuss what their punishment should be."
Because he'd been paying attention to this group, he added, "Non-lethal punishments."
