"Thirty-five minutes into the speech we were approached by a woman who identified herself as a deputy U.S. marshal," [antoinette] Konz told me in a telephone conversation on Friday. "She said that we should not be recording and that she needed to have our tapes" ... the speech [antonin] Scalia was giving ... was about the importance of the Constitution ... The marshal, Melanie Rube, insisted. The A.P. reporter tried to explain that she had a digital recording device, so there was no tape to give up. Ms. Konz said the deputy seemed baffled by that.
