RIM made this statement in the backdrop of the recent controversy over security raised by different nations including India, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

There are also reports that U.S. law enforcement officials can tap into emails and other conversations made using BlackBerry, as long as they have proper court orders.

UAE has even threatened to clamp down on some services unless they get more access, while Saudi Arabia has announced that it would block BlackBerry service on Friday.
