Um... how is this not already a thing? COMSEC isn't exactly rocket science and the technology to do so is readily available. Simply amazing.

AND... this is rich, they're going to share their encryption with the media. *bangs forehead on desk*
I am against the whole encryption thing. I get the 'safety' argument but it doesn't trump the 'Taxpayers paid for this, so they have a right to listen.' argument. The whole point of having unencrypted comms for public servants is so that people could monitor what was going on. Encrypting the comms is a slap in the face to every single tax payer. This is bad policy.

Those that know me know that, among other things, I design, build, and engineer *real* encrypted comm architectures for a living. So this is something that I know a little more than something about.
