it is cool indeed. You can also get all of the above properties, plus the ability for (sighted) humans to detect any deliberate interference, and to know when the device is reasonably shielded from eavesdroppers, with a QR code or other medium-density bar code for which free readers are available. The monkeysign project and the guardian project are both doing good work in that direction. Moving the signalling from visible light to the RF part of the spectrum seems like it would be a regression to me. --dkg
