I carry a FRS Radio Shack mobile in my car with me all the time and it SCANS all 14 FRS channels. This past week I heard a docotrs office using FRS radios telling the doctors that patients are on the way back to them to see them. These nurse and the doctor are giving out patients social security numbers. My wife works in a hospital for a Indianapolis local hospital. I told her about this and she said this violates the HIPPA rule for health care.Doctors cannot give out this infomation. I believe that the doctors office in question in not aware that these radios are not "Secure" radios. If you are using FRS in a mobile or a FRS Handheld put the radio on SCAN and listen to all 14 channels. I have heard a lot of people using FRS for business, ect. I have heard our local TACO BELL using them telling people in the drive thru that the chalupas are ready. I also have heard a local school with teachers watching children during the morning drop off and the evening pick up of the kids in the drop off area for kids You never know what you are going to hear on FRS !!!!
