They've spent billions of dollars on the ability to listen in to what
you're saying on the radio, prevent you from talking on the radio,
finding out where you're talking from on the radio the better to drop
a bomb on your head, and pretending to be your boss telling you what
to do over the radio. They're reasonably good at it.

Try again.

This is difficult against a competent opponent becasue the signal
will be encrypted.

Spread spectrum radios help here...

Again, this is fixible by standard cryptographic techniques.

They're reasonably good at it.

I find it hard to take your post seriously since you are apparently
unaware of very well-known cryptographic techniques.

Gee, I thought you plonked me the last time I was too correct for you
