The Guardian reports Obama will get a spy-proof Blackberry.
More from the Guardian: "Traditionally, US presidents have shied away from using hi-tech communications such as email and mobile phones for a variety of reasons – including possible interception from foreign powers.
"But the main concerns are often more about political responsibility than personal safety, as a result of the Presidential Records Act of 1978, which requires that documents retained by the White House must be released to the public."
HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT RIM, WHICH RUNS THE BLACKBERRY SERVICE, IS BASED IN CANADA AND ROUTES ALL EMAILS VIA THEIR MAIN SERVERS -- DO WE WANT TO DEPEND ON THE CANUCKS FOR OUR NATIONAL SECURITY???
