This isn't really all that new is it? haven't people been able to buy
3g/pcs/etc antennae and such off ebay for a while and intercept
conversations/data/etc for a long time? GSM was 'hacked' (decrypted
via some rainbow tables) several years ago as well.

If you ship it over the air and there isn't a reasonable encryption
scheme in place, don't you expect it to be seen?
