It would also be cheaper to add an additional layer of security with
encryption vs. roving teams of gun toting manhole watchers.

Even if encrypted, you can probably do an amazing amount of traffic

(That, plus it's easier to break an encryption if you have gigabytes of
data to work with, than if you don't have any data to work with...)
