Yes it would be fast enough. As far as security and USAF approved, sounds like it may not be due to security.
I think that you do because it was a hassle working out our meet a few years ago. 
I have a friend, one of my best friends, who refuses to carry a cell phone. He has one, he just hates to carry it.
He brags about not carrying it, says you can call his home landline and leave a message on his old fashioned answering machine.
Everything has been fine; he's managed to do things his way for many years.
But.....
He recently, at the age of 69, left his cell phone at home as usual....
And his car broke down 75 miles from home.
Nope. No way to call a tow truck, or a mobil mechanic, or EVEN GET A RIDE COMING TO TOTE HIS *** HOME.
Balls in your court now, so to speak.
Personally, If I were him, I'd keep my cell phone in my car, have it turned off. I could then turn it on when I NEEDED it.
Sucks to be him, 69 years ago, having to walk a few miles to the nearest place to try to get a phone to call for help from home.
He figured he'd use a pay phone. Dude those things are extinct!
And no one at the small tiny gas station/convenience store in rural Oklahoma would let him use their cell phones. Finally someone stopping for gas and coffee offered to call help for him.
I understand being stubborn, etc. But there's NO EXCUSE to screw yourself and those around you that are listening to you DEMAND they help you.
******* is as ******* does.
You don't like cell phones? Compromise, keep one charged up and turned off until you need it. Then use it.

Back in 97 I had a boss that would send me on deliveries and make me take the pager. I would tell him "I will take it but I won't turn it on." Yes, I know that I’m not as funny as I think I am.
Reminds me of a sort of funny story. Years ago I had responsibility for a group of post offices. Each Postmaster was issued a pager and required to be on call 24/7. I had an old grouchy guy as PM at ******* I could never reach after hours when there was an emergency at his office. When I had a discussion with him and instructed him to keep his pager on he said he would stick it up his a-- on vibrate.Back in 97 I had a boss that would send me on deliveries and make me take the pager.

It’s cost me a fortune buying crap while I’m on the crapper.
My jobs required cell service and a phone. Call out available 365/24/7.
I had a side hack as a traveling CNC machine tool tech on the days off. I made thousands upon thousands of dollars taking calls while on the road or home for service consulting without having to be there for my customers. In-house visits required travel expenses and a much higher rate.
Did appointments and billing from the phone after creating an invoice and a link to the tax accountant so every thing was above board.
It was bringing in enough income that I considered doing it full time and hiring employees. The potential was impressive but working at a power plant was going to be a never ending job that was secure and paid well. Took the conservative route and stayed there. Retirement was not that far off.

If my car breaks down then I am a crappy mechanic and deserve to walk it off.
I am 55 so not quite to the point that I can't walk many many miles.
I may get one in the future. But i am not going to like it
