[FedCom] Federal Frequency Searching in Commercial Airports?

[Jeff Kenyon]

I'll have to check it out.  iI don't get to the air port that much or that
side of town,, but much of the activity for the air port in Detroit that
is government related is on the Wayne County trunked system that will soon
be intograted into the state digital TRS, and much of the federal stuff on
that is  encrypted.  It is interesting, but a lot of the stuff you'd think
that would be encrypted on VHF and UHF isn't, and is analogue!  The FBI
watching people or chasing people are just a few things I have heard in
analogue mode.
