I dont 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 EMTs 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 hasnt 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.
