If you ask a lawyer whether it is OK to blow your nose in public,
they'll say with great anxiety "hmmm, I don't know, let me get back to
you on that." Then depending on how busy they are with other stuff,
maybe they'll get back to you a few weeks later with some relevant
case law.

That is to say, there are plenty of people who could do it more easily
than the legal department.
