Did I just hear that the Cardinals will be staying in a nearby hotel????

I did hear that they are jamming cell signals during the conclave. They say it is to prevent leaking info out via twitter or phone calls, but i think they wanted cardinals to stay off the webcam from the gay sauna next door and pay attention to picking the next Infallible One
