When national security of a country is in issue, whatever is the form of government, the citizens will always be expecting that their leaders should ensure their safety. Threats in our national security will come in different forms and we are all aware that with the rapid improvements in technology, terrorists will surely depend and be a user of such development. However, I think it will be unreasonable to ban the use of blackberries in certain countries. Yes, it may be a threat to the national security because it cannot be monitored and the government cannot intercept messages but I don't think that it is a wise move.
Terrorists will always kill with or without a blackberry, it is their purpose, to kill and they always be a threat to national security. It is not the blackberry which they used in killing but it is the bombs, guns and other killing devices. Yes, it may be a tool for their communication but even before when there was no blackberry they can still secretly communicate. I don't think that banning will be the best solution. Regulation is always an option if the concern will be national security. With the developments now in our technology, it will not be healthy for a country's economy to ban on something new.
As I have said blackberry is not a killing device. Banning it will not solve terrorism. National security are one of the top priorities of every country and banning a mobile device for such reason is unreasonable.
