UAE Says BlackBerry is Security Threat

According to the United Arab Emirates, the Blackberry is a threat to national security. Really? Are they honestly trying to claim that a phone is a threat to national security?

In the latest flap, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority voiced fears that the BlackBerry manages data in a way that could allow it to be misused. BlackBerry devices were singled out because they are the only phones operating in the country that automatically relay users' information to privately managed data centers overseas, the regulator said.
