Funny thing is that when a medical provider, bank or credit card company
calls me they never ask if I am using a secure line. I doubt that the
majority of voip and cell subscribers understand the implications. Maybe
the disclosure requirements should include that aspect. If I plug my
laptop into the average hotel or college dormitory LAN, it's probably
fairly easy to eavesdrop on any voip calls.
