They don't say what "encrypted telephones" mean, either. Remember,
these are the same guys who try to tell people that spread spectrum
is "encryption" or at least "secure."
I'll bet $100 to a $1 that if there was a way to find out, we'd
find out that the "encrypted telephones" in use in the case in
question were not "encryption" as most of the members of this
list understand it. Is there enough information in Mr. Marshall's
description to be able to associate the FUD with a case and then
find out what kind of evidence they present?
