I'm waiting to here on this thread that it must be the President's fault this
guy asked the question, haha.
When are we going back to tech talk?
I don't really care much to read some people's subjective opinions regarding
this guy's concept nor do I want to wear out my delete key. This guys
motivation or his bosses directive is none of our business pro or con.
The Emergency Managment, Emergency Call Center, Radio Manager and Information
Security Officer qualified folks on this reflector know what the applicable
regulations and DOJ requirements are and we sure don't need to hear about it
from the what if experts...
I'm beginning to wonder if someone just planted this topic to watch this
reflector self-distruct, DUH!

Who needs to hack? All common VoIP protocols in use are sniffable and
playable from 100% free tools like Wireshark. All that's required is a copy of
the packets... piece of cake. We do it all the time for troubleshooting in the
VoIP telco hardware vendor world.
This whole plan probably also runs afoul of HIPPA regulations for Medical
dispatch, once you start sending un-encrypted VoIP to a residential IP from the
dispatch center, now that I think a little more about it.
