By not encrypting the call signs because unencrypted call signs aren't the problematic restriction. It's the content restrictions that are stifling in the modern world.
Also: progress has changed the landscape. HFDF used to be difficult for the military but now it's easy for hobbyists, and not just in last-mile form, but in coordinated always-on infrastructure form. The regulations were not written with this in mind. With an active community this fact alone might obviate the need for many a regulation.

And I'm not broadcasting my legal name and mailing address so i can "play" with radio transmissions.
If everything is encrypted, how could you tell? How could you even tell that the users were licensed?
