Re: If THEY have nothing to hide

I preferred it when politicians were using pagers the messages for those were/are broadcast unencrypted. https://www.watoday.com.au/national/western-australia/unforgivable-the-privacy-breach-that-exposed-sensitive-details-of-wa-s-virus-fight-20200720-p55dsm.html

Even better they have to be broadcast everywhere in the because the pagers* were just receivers and had no return path. So to guarantee that the recipient got the message wherever they were it had to be broadcast nationwide. So somebody in Birmingham could receive (with a very limited amount of equipment) messages sent to MPs at their conference in Brighton.
