Makes me wonder what the REAL story behind the Newt Gingrich cell phone call was:

Just so happened to hear it on a scanner as they were following him?
Really?
In light of all this new information I kind of doubt that story now.
Cell phones are encrypted with low level encryption...so the story is false.

Yes, really.
Cell phones used to use analog transmissions, and it used to be easy to intercept a call with a 800-900Mhz scanner.
