I don’t believe this. Its not about ‘security of the emails’. Its about the fact a blackberry can be TRACKED to within 30 inches by anyone with a bit of knowledge. Its no different than the GPS system in a vehicle, thats how ONSTAR knows where to send the EMT’s in the event of a crash. He carries a blackberry, those that would do him, and us, harm can ‘see him’. ‘If you can see a target, you can hit it. If you can hit it, you can kill it.” Colin Powell, during the Gulf War That hasn’t changed, and the Secret Service knows it.

Exactly. I wonder if they're going to somehow scramble what this thing reports to the gps satellites? I know that in the past the satellites were built to transmit not so accurately so as to not help our enemies.

The blackberry transmits. Forget what happens when it hits a satellite, and keep in mind its a transmitter that can be tracked to itself.
