FCC to require email addresses on applications for amateur radio licenses

Since the FCC's amateur license database is open to the public, anyone can get my e-mail address, street address, and call sign.

If I ever get an e-mail stating it's from the FCC, I'm not opening it. E-mail is not an acceptable form of communication which require any form of authentication or trust.

Idk about U.S. but in my country the government (or any of its subsidiaries) cannot officially contact you via e-mail. It’s either by mail or in-person.
