[Scan-DC] DC fire department to encrypt its radio channels; local fire chiefs deeply concerned

[Alan Henney]

And with this horrible disclosure of patient information, what's the worst 
that's ever happened that we are aware?

I would oppose encrypting routine fire rescue operations.  I am very
surprised though at the amount of medical information that is transmitted in
the open by ambulance/medic units  If you want to know what really happened
in an incident, try to catch the transmissions of the unit transporting any
patients/victims. You'll hear more than you need to know.
