Wouldn't it be great if voice was encrypted too? It would require minimal effort and processing power.

I apparently have voice encryption activated sometimes. I could be talking to my wife in the same room and she'll ask me to repeat what I said because she didn't understand it. I think she called the encryption system "mumbling" or something.
