Well, hats off to Motorola!
I just purchased a MOT 2900 cell phone, and was just going through the
manual.
The following paragraph was found on page 82 of the users manual under
RULES, REGULATIONS & PRECAUTIONS:
PRIVACY
As a telephone user, you have come to assume a certain standard of
privacy when you place or receive a telephone call via the traditional
wireline systems.  However, because cellular radiotelephones utilize
radio transmissions to effect calls, the same standard cannot always be
assured.  While it is unlawful for an unauthorized person to divulge or
use any information obtained from intercepting or "listening in on"
conversations intended for others, you should not assume that your
conversation is completely secure.  Commercially available scanning
equipment can permit a third party to monitor the radio channels used
for cellular telephone calls.
Finally, a universal warning..  Next step is to get it on a label to be
placed on the cell phone, rather than on page 82 of the users manual!
Still, Motorola deserves a lot of credit!
