[Nolug] Security & Cell Phones

Hi all.

I know that this isn't Linux related, but I'm hoping I can sneak a quick
question in.

When using a cell phone are voice calls encrypted? I'm sure that the
carrier can listen to them, but how about John Q Public with the right RF
equipment?

How about the data sent by a tethered computer?

Finally, how about a smart phone doing email using just plain POP? Could
someone see a plaintext POP login password?

Thanks!

John
