Our government dabbling in android software?

With the major push for e-government these days, especially at the federal level, it should come as no surprise that our government is pushing the use of a smart phone for transmission of highly classified messages.  This move, if approved, will allow government and military officials to communicate information of a very sensitive nature via text message.  I find this both exciting and very alarming.

It is fairly well-known in the tech industry that anytime secure software or interface is created that it is very likely that hackers have created a counterpart to these systems and it is probably even more effective!  What's more is that the attached article even eludes to the fact that our IT dept. chose to use the andriod market over apple because they could freely tinker with code.  Well let's think this through, if our guys can adjust code with little to no issue what do you think hackers can do??  Chances are that if the government finishes this project and it is hacked they will probably find text messages littered with LOL's and ttyl's and good ole LMAO's :) .
