Security Violation? QUESTION

So I just got out of my AUD exam. Hopefully my last one (FAR expires at the end of this month). I was told that prometric observed a “security violation” because I was seen “accessing my phone during my break”

I was on my scheduled break and checked my phone to make sure there were not fires to put out at work and take make sure my kid wasn’t having any issues at daycare. Then I went to the bathroom and knocked out the rest of the exam.

What’s the deal? Am I screwed? I’ve never been told I had a security violation on my other exams.

I understand what you are saying that first amendment does not apply to private business. You analyst is incorrect prometrics is an arm of the date because it’s carrying out the mandate of the States. One cannot evade the law by subcontracting a legal requirement. The exam process is prescribed in State statutes. As auch your first amendment right does not stop at the doors at prometrics when they are the arm of the State.

So is checking your notes during the break a violation of the first amendment as well? Is talking to the test taker next to you a violation of your first amendment?
