The title seems incorrect.
>And while Clinton's predecessor Condaleeza Rice had obtained waivers for herself and her staff to use BlackBerry devices, Clinton's staff was told that "use [of the BlackBerry] expanded to an unmanageable number of users from a security perspective, so those waivers were phased out and BlackBerry use was not allowed in her Suite," an e-mail from the NSA's senior liaison to the State Department noted.
NSA says that they could not ensure the security of BlackBerry devices. That's not a refusal, just the facts. Is someone expecting the NSA to magically conjure unlimited, secure BlackBerries?
