#1 So she acquired sensitive hardware from parties unknown.

What are the odds that any of these devices were subtly modified for spying at the hardware level and intentionally sold to the US Secretary of State?

Did the NSA check these devices? Did they verify that all custom chips were authentic, transistor for transistor?

Nuts!

And Bill Clinton aide Justin Cooper destroyed two old devices with a hammer.

Flash memory is very robust. He should have tossed the stuff into a furnace.

Nuts, too!

#2 By buying 'seconds' the number of units lost and left behind didn't get recorded through acquisition channels. Probably filed under 'incidental office supplies' by her IT support team.

Maybe because the Iranian was maintaining an old exploit?

#5 it would be even more amusing if she sold her used blackberries on eBay (or even better on Craig's List)
