Philly Mayor Forced from iPhone Line
So the Mayor of Philadelphia John F. Street was a technology enthusiast and he showed up outside an AT&T store at 3:30AM.
Then a guy sporting a mohawk showed up and asked him, "How can you sit here with 200 murders in the city already?" Apparently, the city had its 200th slaying of the year.
Street told the man: "I'm doing my job." Then he left. The time was 11:30AM. He did promised to return to his spot when the phone goes on sale at 6PM.
His argument: "We don't have to be sitting in City Hall to be conducting city business."

I'm just curious. If you see your local legislator, or perhaps your federal representative or senator doing some shopping or standing in line for a movie, would you go to that person and questioned him/her for not doing the people's business? Who knows if that person could be on vacation, but would it be appropriate?
Imagine if you saw Senator Brown shopping at Best Buy? Are you going to confront the senator about Iraq or taxes or gas prices?
Should they be offered some moments of privacy, or is it a free for all?
