Correct me if I'm wrong, but spread spectrum technology was devoloped by the military in WWII for the sole purpose as to have secure tranmissions. If the service is as it says, then it would in fact be pretty secure. Spread spectrum has signals bounced rapidly across differnt frequencies in a set pattern. The only way to intercept a transmission or message would be if you knew and could follow the frequency hops. The way I understand it, the constantly changing hops would allow a pretty secure means for any sort of transaction.
