A comment on The Protesters' Guide to Smartphone Security. Parent comment
1. If you're planning to commit arson you want to have encrypted radios to not get caught.
2. If you're planning a peaceful protest at a location somebody might commit arson you want an encrypted radio so you don't get unfairly punished.
I don't think anybody is arguing that (1) is desirable. They're arguing that the people involved with (2) shouldn't be punished for (1)'s crimes.
