It seems to me that one of the main threats to Amateur Radio is from the homeland security agencies, and the increasing paranoia in the country about terrorism. We need to be perceived as a totally benign, non-threatening activity by loyal citizens. Encrypting our transmissions opens the door to concern about what evil things we might be transmitting secretly. We need to be open. Anyone with the proper receiver can come and listen to us. I think that allowing encryption would work against the best interests of ham radio.
