Succinctly, use the purloined letter technique -- hide it in plain sight. There are RF bands set aside for unlicensed low-power operation; some new phones use spread-spectrum techniques in these bands.

It's more than just purloined-letter issues - it's *legal*. That means that the FCC won't be triangulating around to find and destroy your transmitters, which is good. So you're back to threats from the CIA/DEA/NSA/FBI, pigeons, vandals, etc., and encryption and spread-spectrum make it a lot easier to avoid problems from frustrated cops.
