Re: "The biggest security feature of BBOS is not being subject to the patriot act."

I was referring the security of phones not on American soil.

I do not want a foreign government to be able to legally demand access to my phone, without obtaining legal authority from my country.. (Not that it's actually a serious worry for me personally, and the country I'm in would bend over and give it anyway, I'm sure, but it's the principle, and the danger of corruption leading to industrial espionage.).

I know they can hack it by illegal means, but that's a completely different matter.
