Well, in keeping with the mega trend of RWC encryption I have noticed that more assignments are being left off the Phx CAD then are being put on. It's becoming a glorified traffic accident board and even then it falls short.
I just saw a 962 get taken off the CAD after it was assigned to K13. Sounded like it involved an MCSO transport van with 1 deputy transporting a prisoner, very minor injuries. There were no transports from the scene. Why we need to keep things from the public is very disturbing. Next up will be the Secret Police (oh wait, I think they are already around).
Well first of all something must of happened behind closed doors for The "RWC" to fully Encrypt all of their Sky Harbor Airport Talkgroups. There are a lot of non transparent items that are not shared to the general public for sure. Let's look at common sense here for a minute. What agency encrypts all of their public works and transportation talkgroups at the airport? Nobody does. It's not brain science around here. Somebody at the airport that runs these operations is paranoid thinking that extremists are going to attack the airport and their transportation system using a scanner radio. PERIOD....
I really don't think the fed guy was telling the truth on encryption. Modern non-classified-grade encryption is very strong. It is slightly possible (not certain) that NSA can break the stuff used in public safety, but I really doubt anyone else - even a rich criminal cartel - is going to do it. They would find easier ways - such as stealing an encrypted radio.I once asked a buddy in a federal position of interest about this sort of thing. The die hard thing had me wonder. He laughed and said if they have enough money and resources it can be done. Very highly illegal and get you fed time but those types could care less. ... I also read articles regarding it around about enough machines, right equipment, right stuff they can solve it. In non rolling re keying environment he said. ....
. When did the scanner community become the enemy? That's what I'd like to know.

He laughed and said if they have enough money and resources it can be done. Very highly illegal and get you fed time but those types could care less. The scanner would be least of anyone's worries he said. He said like a door lock and key only keep honest people honest. I also read articles regarding it around about enough machines, right equipment, right stuff they can solve it. In non rolling re keying environment he said. He then said don't get me started on macgyver.
How do ems calls not have a transport assigned automatically? Isn't that a.delay in service
