IM is so unsecure it’s not even funny. It doesn’t matter, they are going to be giving are secrets out anyway so just let them keep their toys.

are = our

I have a Blackberry, too, Zero. So what?

ICUP. STFU. KMA. ESAD.

They should install an encrypted Jabber server for internal network use, only, and set it up to centrally log all of the messages and chats. That way they can use it for official business but know that everything is automatically logged. We used IM extensively for work at my last job that way and the self-documenting nature of it was excellent. And while people did some joking around, especially late at night, it was used for business and people knew that.

Ditto to all and BFD!!!

they'll be forced to surrender form of communication staffers have relied on for the last two years to communicate with each other, outside allies, and the press.

A big pile of illiteracy. Do some editing, please.

[Bahbah]

LOL. What you said.

Anything that will slow down their march to marxism sounds good to me.

If we had a real Justice Department, they would have the subpoenas already drafted and be waiting outside the telecom shops. Hopefully, Blago’s lawyers are already seeking the pre-presidential records.

However, you can bet that the other side gets Bambi’s IM’s before the intended recipient.

"the self-documenting nature of it was excellent."

Documentation is what has to be avoided. That's more important to Obama's lawyers than security.

No doubt...apparently the words "NATIONAL SECURITY" and "CLASSIFIED" have no meaning to these imps. There are reasons why we don't want a hacker to invade the easily hacked systems so the world knows our secrets... Seriously, these are the people who will lead us???????????????? And since when did slowing down, reading all the facts, discussing the various potential issues and outcomes of any decision become such a bad thing. We live in a knee-jerk world where if one item out of 100 has a defect then the entire system must be messed up and fixed immediately without understanding why the one had a defect and if it was an abherration or an item that potentially could cause more defects...ugh...I can't stand how fast technology pushes our decision making.

[Question_Assumptions]

Oh, absolutely. It’s great when you have nothing to hide. When you have something to hide, not so much.

We are becoming a nation of Peter Pans. Almost no one wants to grow and even fewer want to be men.

They should install an encrypted Jabber server

Love Jabber!

LOL! I ‘get’ the last one...I think. Usually I see it as ‘QFMFT’. I may be wrong.....but I AM old....by ‘interbutt standards’. ;)

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

What and arrogant SOB.

[Lumper20]

They should learm secure voice commo and one time pads. There is no high tech that cannot be hacked.
