Obama says he will keep BlackBerry – here’s how, perhaps

Despite questions about how the BlackBerry can comply, given Research in Motion’s security level, with the 1978 Presidential Records Act, President-elect Obama says he will keep the device.

Having just gotten done reading James Bamford’s “Shadow Factory,” where he described how RIM reached a “work-around” with the Indian equivalent of the National Security Agency, here’s a tentative prediction.

Somebody – perhaps Narus or Verint of warrantless wiretapping assistance fame – will put a Top-Secret level splitter inside the device.
