An anonymous reader writes "When the mainstream media first announced Barack Obama's 'victory' in keeping his BlackBerry, the focus was on the security of the device, and keeping the US president's e-mail communications private from spies and hackers.

In this article, a CNET blogger digs into the real risks associated with the President carrying around a tracking device at all times."
