So just detect the data link transmissions instead

That's probably not as hard as it sounds either - using multiple aircraft and measuring the timing and phase of the received signals, you'd be able to pinpoint broadcasts of any kind, irrespective of encryption - you don't need the data, you just need to know where its emanating from
