Polish MP Returns iPad Citing Lack of Control

rysiek writes "Polish MP and spokesperson for one of Polish political parties Dariusz Joski returned his state-issued iPad, citing lack of control (Google-translated). Polish Free and Open Source Software Foundation (of Anti-ACTA fame) offered (free of charge, of course) to help him choose, install and configure Linux on his laptop, including setting-up disk encryption. We are still waiting for an answer from the MP." Another concern of his appears to have been a lack of security regarding communications with other government officials.

And you and him are being a idiot if you think you cant do all of that on a iPad. For one thing the iOS encryption has been ruled as uncrackable (meaning it would take way more time and effort to crack the encryption than it would be worth not that it is impossible to crack). http://www.neowin.net/news/ios-encryption-is-impossible-to-crack-by-nsas-standards For another you can inspect all communications off the iPad no problem and even block what apps are allowed on it with any of the number of MDM solutions out there including the one Apple provides with OS X Server. So no he is not being sensible and you are being a FUD loving fucktard.
