Would you like to share your private conversations with them that easily? I know I wouldn't...
True this is a concern, I think in general for the amount of calls I get in the car a day, maybe one or two I think id be quite safe.

Not too worried about government, military...well a couple of 5 year old kids could over power the Irish army so even if they had the funding to buy a receiver i doubt they do though

I have asked the developer if there is anything in the app itself to restrict anyone else hearing it
