I assume Kevin Mitnick knows what he's talking about. After all, that is what he went to prison for. Hacking into other people's technology. And now he gets paid to prevent it. Maybe Obama should listen to him.

I for one will be noting the auther of these articles from now on. Johnny Daniels, if that is your real name, will be on the "This guy is not just naive but completely clueless" list. I bet you knew Lois Einhorn was hiding Mr Winky the whole time.

FREE KEVIN!!

Oh wait… they finally did.

'Impersonating' doesn't necessarily mean 'write like him/her', or talk like 'him/her'.

(i hope) He does not even open/receive mails that are not signed (with a RSA key or something).

Stealing someone else's key and send a fake message that looks authentic is still easier than hacking directly into the phone.

What a poorly written article for a site with the word "geek" in it's title.

First and foremost allowing the president to carry this device or any device for that matter leaves questions about who is really concerned about security. The man is human and could lose or misplace the device.

As for virus security we are assuming this device does indeed use the Blackberry OS. But what if it does not? Could be a special Linux shell or maybe a Symbian variant. Look the guy is not getting service from AT&T. The device no doubt uses a VPN for all communication.

And why the need to check email and for what purpose? The president has a Secret Service detail that is in constant communication with the FBI and Homeland and are used to report any critical information to the president. He is not getting gmail alerts on the war in Iraq. Michelle is not emailing for the time of dinner that evening. Pelosi is not emailing him funny pictures of Rush Limbaugh. The man has an itinerary for godsake. His whole day is planned and the length of each meeting or event is outlined before he leaves the whitehouse. I mean he does not sign into google calendar to see what he got going on at 1pm.

In my opinion the whole Blackberry thing is a charade.
