   Charlie Burton, senior technical analyst for Centennial, Colo.-based Cendant Corp.'s travel distribution services division, said his boss and other co-workers use BlackBerrys. But that use is similar to that of Bourland's enterprise.
   
   "It's driven more for the business and political need for contact, not for crises," Burton said in an e-mail exchange. "Within our organization, I don't see the threat of a BlackBerry shutdown as causing a security issue. It would have been an inconvenience for many in our company, as many have become quite dependent on them."
   
   Burton said he would probably use a BlackBerry if he felt it added value to the security effort. But "in a world with relatively easy Internet access for more in-depth information, and with pagers or cell phones which can receive time-critical alerts, I see little benefit in adding one more layer of communication," he said. "In a global organization, I'd be receiving communications throughout the day and night, creating more of a 'cry wolf' situation."
