Done deal about a decade ago. The FCC mandated that "all transmissions of a sensitive nature" be encrypted which is exactly why we have the situation today. Some think all transmissions are sensitive, thus 100% encryption is common. As for Homeland Security, where do you think the grant money comes from? Hey, when it's a free ride everybody hops on the gravy train.
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dust to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on...
