As a kid, it meant that if made a promise while your fingers were crossed, it didn't count.

It was used for centuries as a sign against evil. They made a cross with their fingers to ward off something they felt threatened by.

Shaking her hand with his fingers crossed means he does not really mean it. And he does not have a smile but a smirk on his face. Hil is not liked within the Armed Forces.
