Cops complain about civilian encryption use, but conduct tactical ops in the clear
https://plus.google.com/+LaurenWeinstein/posts/aHwCRdZg8mt It appears that most or all of the local authorities' tactical discussions during the Colorado Springs domestic terrorism attack yesterday were completly in the clear where scanners and online scanner monitors could hear them. Those channels are fascinating to be sure, but hey, guys, the crooks and murdering domestic terrorists can listen to them too! Get your damned systems into the encrypted late 20th century, already. Law enforcement bitches about civilian use of crypto, then conducts their critical operations totally unencrypted. These were *exactly* the kinds of discussions that would have been most useful to a shooter or other domestic terrorist in such situations. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so.
