Holy annoyance, Mr. Mayor!
Only telemarketers ring Bloomberg’s secure ‘bat phone’

WASHINGTON - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg complained to a U.S. Senate committee on Tuesday that he's vexed by pesky dinner-time phone calls from sales people — ringing him on his secure line.

Much like the Gotham police commissioner's secure line to the "bat phone" in the 1960s "Batman" television show, the kitchen of Bloomberg's Upper East Side townhouse has been outfitted for emergency top-secret communications.

Testifying at a Senate hearing on protecting America after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, Bloomberg was asked about New York City's updated communications equipment that allows police, fire, health and other officials to talk to each other in a crisis.
