"Spread spectrum" does *not* imply "encrypted". The spreading sequences are quite often just simple linear feedback shift registers, which anyone with basic knowledge of cryptanalysis knows how to crack. Anyone with knowledge of the signal format and the right hardware could easily intercept such a signal. This *definitely* includes the government. The fact that spread spectrum usually thwarts the average scanner enthusiast is actually rather unfortunate in my opinion, because that lessens the demand for truely secure cryptography. Phil
