Hi;
I partially agree with that.
As a regulator myself (but in a different area of Federal regulation), asking the
regulator can be helpful, but you really are better off doing your homework first. That
includes looking at the regulations, asking knowledgeable others (non-regulators) about
their interpretations (I am thinking ARRL here), and if questions persist, asking the
regulator informed questions of limited scope.
Hope this helps,
Erik

My experience is that THE WORST thing you can do is "ask the regulator"!
You may get the response you got and be happy, but there is more chance that they will
just enforce or even extend what can already be read in the regulations, and make explicit
statements about that. After which you can no longer say "well, we thought that as
long as you could identify our transmissions it wouldn't be that much of a
problem".

Chris,
Would it be worthwhile to check with the involved regulator(s) exactly where the limit
goes regarding encryption when using ham frequencies?
When we asked our regulator, we got the answer that they do not really care if we use
encrypted login credentials as longs as they can find out who is transmitting, since their
main concern is that they can find you if your transmission causes unacceptable QRM.
