- While they should have left the 'encryption' word out, it is true that
- spread spectrum [was|is] used by the military because it is inherently
- more secure than plain old carrier-based transmissions. Also, maybe
- they actually are putting some sort of encryption chip in it so that
- it would be difficult to descramble without knowing the setting on a
- DIP switch or something.
