As I understand it, encryption is legal, both for law enforcement, as well as
commercial communications. Don't know about ham stuff. And I believe the same
rules would apply, they can encrypt it, and if you can decrypt it, as long as
you don't use the info for commercial gain, there's not much they can do
about it.
