I understand the concern with knowing if someone is tapping your wireless signals, but what about the possibility that they can simply track and listen to you through the cell towers themselves? This is a known issue, since they're using legacy technology (common denominator) to process billing across networks. And it's this method that they can listen to your conversation and locate your whereabouts (by cell tower triangulation). So unless EVERYTHING is off, you can still be found. And if someone was really nefarious, they could simply know what cell tower you're at, and enable other non-protected phones in the same vicinity to listen to your conversations.
So you'd pretty much have to live in a cave (without cell reception or GPS) to avoid anyone from snooping./div>
