The BlackBerry is the new poisoned fruit
BlackBerryBlog reader Alasdair S. Roberts, an associate professor in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, wrote a paper about the little used (at least around where I work) PIN-to-PIN messaging capability of the BlackBerry. In the paper, he posits that the capability should be (and can be) monitored just like any other email traveling through a corporate system, especially in light of the Freedom of Information Act.
If you're still living in a utopian world where your PIN-to-PIN messages don't get recorded, welcome to the new world. And if you're interested in FOIA, privacy and security on your BlackBerry, go read Alasdair's paper.
