Normally I'd agree but what about devices such as Blackberry where they

(i.e. agency or state) you're not likely to get far.

(awaits the link showing how an encrypted and password protected
blackberry has been compromised in 5 minutes)

Yep, big security issue, but if someone has physical control of your
