That was the best media coverage of encryption I've ever seen. Very thorough and for a change they talk about it before the fact rather than after. They spent a lot of time explaining it. The interviews probably could have been a little more balanced but the fire chief said it best... "We just don't have anything to hide."
I'm a little surprised that there aren't more comments on the web site from non scanner owners. I guess they probably should have talked about how much going incognito has cost and
will cost the taxpayers. Personally, bad cops are going to hide no matter what. Before DTRS, they'd just switch to their nextel for the stuff they didn't want over the air. It's the cost of going digital "due to 9/11" that bothers me the most. Especially when the agencies that repsonded
to 9/11 on 9/11 didn't even go digital.
I love that shot where they cut to one of the facebook pages for the police department that will be telling the public everything they need to know on facebook and twitter and it showed a big "LOL cat" picture.
. That just says it all right there.
I can haz encryption.
