Nathan Bollinger was caught stating:
   NB>  I bought my wife an AT&T Model 9100 900mhz cordless phone.
             (content shortened for brevity)
   NB>  This phone is said to have "Digital Voice Scrambling"
   NB>  and when I tried to tune to these freqs on my scanner,
   NB>  I couldn't even detect a carrier!  It makes me wonder,
   NB>  if such an "anti-eavesdropping" technology is so
   NB>  inexpensive that it can be incorporated into a consumer
   NB>  product, then why aren't there more law enforcement
   NB>  agencies using it?
        They haven't been convinced by the local representative
        of the land-mobile communication industry giants to make
        the switch to newer technology.
   NB>  Granted, I'd hate to see ANYTHING on a radio frequency
   NB>  get scrambled, but with all the folks in governemt
   NB>  whining about scanner listeners, it seems like they could
   NB>  very easily eliminate the hobby.
        PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THE GOVERNMENT ANY NEW IDEAS.  Typically
        the only agencies utilizing this technology have something
        to hide from the public they serve.  Over 99% of the radio
        transmissions have no need to be PRIVATE or HIDDEN.  If the
        law enforcement community scrambles routine radio traffic,
        they are sending you a message:  THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING!
        If the community which you reside has hearings regarding the
        anticipation of expending your tax dollars to fund studies
        or conversion of existing equipment make sure your voice is
        heard, clear and UNSCRAMBLED in a public forum.  Do not allow
        the PUBLIC to be denied open access to law enforcement action.
        If you give up the right to monitor, you give up the right to
        react to abuse of the judicial system.  I'm not advocating
        that you become a source of a problem, DO NOT INTERFERE with
        the proper operation of the agency, monitor their activity to
        become an "informed" citizen.
