Regarding this article over on Engadget…

I don’t understand what the big deal is here…so the government wants to snoop on communications using wireless devices, so they’re telling RIM to allow them to do it, or be barred from operating in India, on airwaves controlled by the government.

Not that I really care about Indian affairs, but this has to do with consumer ineptitude in general.

People need to get used to their government snooping on them and take matters into their own hands.  There’s a port of GPG for the Blackberry, use it.  Encrypt your own data if you want security; don’t leave it in the hands of someone else.

People are just told “oh, yeah, we use encryption, your data’s secure” without even asking from who their data is safe from snooping.

Get a clue, people.
