The place to ask is comp.dcom.telecom.  From what I hear:

(1) "security coding" is now common.  This restricts who can _dial_ from
your base unit, so that a person with a similar phone cannot drive up
outside your house and start making long distance calls on your line.
It does not affect reception of speech.

(2) Motorola now makes a cordless phone with a very simple kind of
speech scrambling.  Apart from that, all cellular telephone speech is
clear FM.
