As one who will be shopping for a cell phone in the next week, what should I look for in terms of security? What features are available in phones on the market....if any?

Well, as one who owns an AOR 1000 radio frequency scanner that can receive any and all cell phone conversations, I would have to say you have no security unless you use some kind of voice encryption. In order to make you can feel warm and safe, the manufacture or importation of scanners with cell phone capability was outlawed by congress earlier this year, which means that I can still listen to your call with my existing scanner while you feel protected. I bought guns with high capacity magazines this year after they were banned also. I wish I had enough money to buy a good assault rifle before they're all over priced (they'll never be all gone, just over priced.)
