Lose the BlackBerry? Yes He Can, Maybe

So...you are young(ish), dynamic, and plugged in and then...

"Boom there goes the dynamite"

No more e-mail for you.

Diana Owen, who leads the American Studies program at Georgetown University, said presidents were not advised to use e-mail because of security risks and fear that messages could be intercepted.

"They could come up with some bulletproof way of protecting his e-mail and digital correspondence, but anything can be hacked," said Ms. Owen, who has studied how presidents communicate in the Internet era. "The nature of the president's job is that others can use e-mail for him."

No, really? But someone else sending the e-mail doesn't have the same feeling. I am not saying, well, provide quantum crypto for Obama's BlackBerry, but...there has to be something that allows him to still be connected while maintaining a records retention policy and being secure.

Sorry, Mr. President-Elect.
