People should be able to have encryption if they want it. The rules are absolutely unenforceable either way and there isn't actually any drawback. I'm a ham but most hams like to freak out about it because they think it'll cause companies to suddenly start using ham bands with impunity.

You already can't decode most of the common digital modes without significant effort because they rely on proprietary vocoders so it's not like encryption would change anything.

Cue hams being angry:
