Absolutely disgusting behavior and I hope that it can be proven but you know the TSA :rolleyes: :td:. Now, I wonder if the radio calls made by TSO's are recorded as they are with leo's & fire departments.

If this were about real security, I would be totally in favor of full on nude scanning. Strip searching even. But it's nothing to do with security. The TSA is just theater to control the traveling public. That makes this nude scanning not only unnecessary, but just plain offensive.

Karob, What you described was basically what happened to me last Tues, Nov 9th in TPA.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, a woman just has this feeling when a situation is becoming perverted. The body language, the smirk (not smile) and personal enjoyment of a VERY uncomfortable event. As I read the posts here and google this topic, it's obvious woman and children are consistently targeted. The accounts are overwhelming. Hopefully, together we can get our rights back. |

I have a more powerful radio that travels in a pelican 1510 case(including battery for power(~24hrs) but all sorts of problems would occur if i started to put up a portable buddy pole in a terminal. Heck the looks from walking around with a pigtail in my ear are bad enough, let alone wearing a throat mic set up. Give me till the end of the day or tomorrow and i will post a list of channels/Frequencies that i can dig up. As my cards are not with me there in my go kit that is currently a 20+ hour drive from me (its a 3 hour flight, but not a chance in he double hockey sticks im flying now). You're being outmaneuvered. http://www.gsnmagazine.com/node/21666?c=communications TSA invites manufacturers to demonstrate their radios’ encryption capabilities Wed, 2010-10-20 11:26 AM By: Jacob Goodwin Motorola handheld radio TSA, which is required by DHS to encrypt the radio communications its personnel send and receive at sites around the country, has invited radio manufacturers to demonstrate their encryption capabilities during 45-minute sessions at TSA headquarters during the week of October 25. During the sessions, manufacturers will be expected to demonstrate how their gear can perform “manual key loading” of an encryption key into a radio; “Over the Air Rekeying,” known as OTAR, in which encryption keys are changed over a radio channel; and “Tactical OTAR,” in which the manufacturer would show how its radio can send an encryption key to TSA’s existing inventory of 8,600 Motorola handheld radios, and vice versa. “TSA requires that all its newly procured, handheld radios shall be fully compatible with existing equipment and accessories that are deployed in the field,” explained a special notice TSA published on Oct. 14. “These handheld radios will improve existing communications capabilities and have the ability to be utilized in any “Over-the-Air-Rekeying” (OTAR) scenario.” |
Yes but OTAR can be defeated, according to the ICOM engineer locally i spoke with. Plus look at TSA do your really think there that smart. You can run or change the target but that doesnt make it unhitable
Okay as promised here is the TSA frequency information The current radios that TSA bought in mass are ICOM IC-F50V (or 60V)-- http://radioresourcemag.com/newsArti...m?news_id=6260 . This radio has a P25 encryption chip onboard as well as voice inversion technology, now if a particular location is using these features you will have to find out. Now you don’t have to have this radio to listen in (caveat the radio may need some programming after you buy it) as long as you can hit the right frequency, your only other barrier might be the encryption or voice inversion. A lot of TSA frequencies and the information I gathered from searching online.

That is, radios can be programmed to only break squelch when receiving the correct NAC. NAC's are programmed as a 3 digit hexadecimal code that is broadcast along with the digital signal being transmitted. Since the NAC is 3 digit hexadecimal number(12 bits), it gives 4096 possible NAC's for programming, which far exceeds its analog counterparts combined. It should be noted that 3 of the possible NAC's have special meaning: • 0x293 ($293) - the default NAC • 0xf7e ($F7E) - a receiver set for this NAC will unsquelch on any NAC received • 0xf7f ($F7F) - a repeater receiver set for this NAC will allow all incoming signals and the repeater transmitter will retransmit the received NAC. A list of NACs used by the Federal Government can be found http://wiki.radioreference.com/index...eral_NAC_Codes These scanners are capable of decoding NACs; • Uniden BCD396XT • Uniden BCD996XT • GRE PSR-500 • GRE PSR-600 • RS Pro-197 • RS Pro-106 http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/NAC If someone wants to make this a sticky so it can be updated, I don’t have a problem with it. Some formatting is needed but not to bad. I just wish HTML was possible |
The airwaves belong to the public, per Act of Congress. But you are free to encrypt as you see fit.

From the beginning
UK got these machines before us and their government claimed that images could not be stored or printed. Days later this story of a Bollywood film star autographing his naked image for the 'security' people at Heathrow came out. I expect our machines care the same.

The tsa clerk said you must have misunderstood me. :rolleyes:
He said pat-down was pretty evasive, and his daughter felt uncomfortable. He is taking it up with skywest, with this behavior. Normally, crews there go through a different screening area, but since he was with his daughter, he got to see the tsa clerks at their finest in denver. :td: Its stoiries like this, is why i will not go through the nos (radiation/health issues) and even refuse the the pat-down thus (if it happens while on duty) canceling the flight due to a hostile work environment. I hope this gets resolves soon!! Got to fly....no nos checkpoints on this trip so don't worry about a canceled flight from me!! :d |

Be very careful. There are Federal laws prohibiting the interception and disclosure of private radio transmissions: Link
