First I've heard of this rule/exception, got a link to any doc's validating this claim? If true, it flys in the face of everything on the books with regards to mandates/rules/regs for ensuring secure communications for high-level government officials. Quite interested, as I've been watching this one closely, especially with regards to retro-active changes allowing for an escape from previously committed illegalities. I fully expect a presidential pardon to be the end-game on this one.
