Security is found to be slipshod, so what does the state do?
Perry de Havilland (London)  Military affairs

Of course it threatens the man who pointed out that the security services protecting the Queen and government ministers are using insecure radio systems to communicate.

Making the equipment that can pick up those channels illegal in the UK will do nothing to prevent the IRA or any middle eastern terrorists who want to attack British targets from acquiring them overseas or just building it themselves (it is not exactly rocket science).

Solution? Buy encrypted communications systems and stop broadcasting in the clear. Duh.
