How TSA Plans To Spend $3 Million On Macs And Other Apple Gear | Cult of Mac

How TSA Plans To Spend $3 Million On Macs And Other Apple Gear | Cult of Mac: "TSA is the latest U.S. federal agency to make a significant investment in Apple technologies in what may be a move away from RIM’s BlackBerry and Windows PCs. The agency is set to start a pilot program that will run over the next three years and will involve heavy investment in Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Apple TVs.

According to federal documents (PDF link), the security agency plans to spend $3 million on Apple products and has an amazingly wide range of uses for them in mind. The plans go well beyond the scope of Apple investments made by other U.S. government agencies like the EPA and FAA, which focus primarily on iPhones and/or iPads."

The agency also has plans for using FaceTime on a variety of devices. It’s worth noting that FaceTime uses encryption that meets some federal standards including the healthcare privacy regulation known asHIPAA.
