Canada’s Big Ear Tuned to Obama’s Blackberry?

This shows how painfully naive Obama is about the real world of international security. As numerous public record accounts have documented over the last sixty years, every espionage organization in the world loves to make direct tapping attacks on communications systems.

RIM is located in Canada. The US government cannot provide physical or personnel security on a communications service located in Canada. What makes Obama sure that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service will not succumb to temptation?

 

Of all the fights facing Mr. Obama as he prepares for the White House, one of the most maddening for him is the prospect of losing the BlackBerry that has been attached to his belt for years. It is, he has vigorously argued, an essential link to keeping him apprised of events outside his ever-tightening cocoon.
