It is not much different. Though people do expect it to be, since they often leave last minute valuables locked in the trunk of their cars.
You can actually prevent those sorts of thefts by use of a gun, not by pointing it at the TSA, but by checking a firearm. Lots of photographers do this to protect their equipment. You can just buy an old useless firearm for pennies at a gun show, weld it up to make it non-functional and then check it as a firearm and place your valuables in the same storage device.
This is of course not going to work with international travel.
Which makes me want to point out that the last time I was in a German airport there was far less of this nonsense. I was even able to keep my shoes on.
I ask because I have used Nexus 7s and 10s, iPads and a Surface. It was the least easy to use, the most convoluted and at times made you use a non-touch type interface on a tablet. Some config thing.
The idea is fine, but the execution seems terrible.
Of you find a nice suitable existing building. The floor our data center is on was considered a nuclear fallout shelter. The building is all steel and concrete. A drunk drive might manage to scratch the outside.
I don't have time for someone who has no real experience with the product, and believes whatever the vendor tells him. No a couple accounts on BES express is not the same.
BES might be secure, no one knows save for those BES has shown the secret sauce too.
Gasoline does not appear as if by magic at your local station. It gets trucked there, after being refined, after being pumped out of the ground, after being fought over in wars.
Documentation claims the PS3 is unhackable. We all know how that went.
Not FUD, just simple facts. Things you cannot audit are not something anyone should really call secure. I have done plenty of research after I found out how terribly BES worked as a product and how poorly it communicated to administrators.
Clearly you have some vested interest in the product, so nothing will convince you.
My mail to my house is push, the fact that I am not there to read it does not change that. Even out of band will have to be received by something to wake the rest of the device. So that something must be ready to get this message.
No part of it. The fact that it is needed furthers my argument, thanks.
Everyone save a few that work at RIM are ignorant of how BES works, they won't show us. Sure they say nice words, but there is no way to know if any of it is true.
If they think that is ok for their down market product their up market one likely sucks as well.
I want to see a citation for that last comment. My understanding is BES is totally closed and still sends data via their servers which the outages proved. This means we have no way of knowing how secure it is.
We all use SSL to do our banking, so clearly it is pretty well tested.
Maybe the firmware of your device, mine is not running an official one.
If you have to let them store your password it is insecure. It is that simple. A good secure proxy system would be handed a token that identifies them as a user of your account but not you. So that one could actually audit usage and the like. BIS does not do this because it is less of integration and more of a MITM attack.
Actually it still users RIM's servers, which is why a RIM outage affects all BES users as well.
RIM "offered" BES to make money. They made buttloads of it when CxOs wanted their devices. Now no one wants it and they are still pretending like they are needed.
We were hands off when it broke. Then had to be rebooted for messages to return to one user, causing an outage for the others. Or repushing service books for no good reason, on and on.
The product sucks. There is nothing to really admin anyway. Everything is click the shiny button and pray it works this time. Typical crap windows software.
Which is why things like wait exist and very long connection lifetimes. The phone can go to sleep with that connection running. Keep alives can be a long time apart.

If you are going to be a bigot why not just use the preferred bigot Sand N-word nomenclature?
Why be a bigot and then water down your hate?
You know the secret of big whoop?
The problem is when they damage your car they will deny it and you will get nothing.
If they don't just steal everything inside the car as well.
Do you have another tablet?

And they truck those all the way to the power station? Or just to the railcar?
Gasoline is delivered to the station, nor are we fighting over coal. Nor does buying it prop up the price of a commodity that's sales go to terrorism.
You must not understand that often emails do not cross servers outside my companies control.
Lots of internal communication is email.
Incorrect.
Go learn some math. That fails even a basic sanity check, electricity is not moved around by trucks burning fuel.
Totally false.
Go read a damn book.

IPv6 should solve that.

Translation:
I make my money from BES and have no other skills. Please do not move onto anything that would put me out of a job.
How much are they paying you to resend service books?
See folks, this is how you troll.
Watch closely, and learn.
No part of it. The fact that it is needed furthers my argument, thanks.

I can audit ssl, I cannot audit BES. No their documentation claiming they did AES right does not prove they did.
Those are all solved problems, have fun resending servicebooks.
You use keep alives to tell the network you need to keep this IP, they are very small and very infrequent.
When you wake to send that, and you only wake a tiny little bit you check for the new email packet.
I guess in those backwards nations the user will just turn off all forms of push email.

Which supports ActiveSync, which is push mail and device management. Use that.
It is also support on several other mail servers, zimbra being the first one I think of.
