Interesting... US government says it would be OK if it uses CheckPoint's products to secure the data...

Is CheckPoint not a foreign company based in Israel? Would it not be possible that it be compromised?
Funny how the most powerful computers and technology can't be exported the government is perfectly happy importing encryption technology?

Isn't US made a better choice?
