| I've heard these rumors before, too, and I'm not convinced they're true.

| that bulletins like this would seem to indicate. Any laptop left anyplace
| unattended has risk; drive encryption like BitLocker is really the only way
| to mitigate such attacks (other than keeping the laptop with you at all

This is *not* a rumour!

A warning was issued about Blackberries as well.

You said "I'm not convinced they're true".
Then you are naive.

You obviously have not read any Chinese threat assesments.
