As I mentioned, the day Colin Powell reported for duty as Secretary of State, the Secret Service confiscated his PDA. Does anyone think the Secret Service would be less concerned about the President?

I'll take any bet from any CB member that the next president of the United States, whomever he may be, will never carry a BlackBerry.

I think you quoted the wrong person dude lol.

I don't know a lot about high levels of government except that the president can do pretty much anything he wants - taking under advisement the concerns of his security detail. Government officials carry sensitive data on their laptops all the time. There was recently a case where the Commerce Secty. Was ordered to not take his laptop to China due to security concerns - there were suspisions that the Communist Chinese had tried to break into a government official's laptop on a previous trip. It was in all the newspapers. If they have stuff on computers, why not BBs - which don't really hold that many documents in their memories? Just saying....

I work for a not-for-profit that serves people with developmental disabilities, mostly in the group home setting. Cell phones were banned from work sites supposedly due to the camera function. All of the work sites cell phones are phones that don't have camera functions. Of course the highest elite C-suite employees have Treos, the top echelon is always exempt
