Here are just a few of the 500 million links I got back when I typed 
"secure phone" (without quotes) into Google.  The technology is 
definitely out there.  Whether you or I can get it, not being government 
agencies, is another matter.  Of course, whomever you're calling 
probably has to have one too, the same one.  The last two links in this 
section are interesting as they relate to Linux.  I didn't read all of 
it, but it looks like it can encrypt analog calls somehow using modems.  
I could have misread that though.

Typing "telephone voice scrambler" into google (without quotes) gives 
another 500 thousand potentially interesting results including the 
following.  They say you can attach it to most any phone.  It says it's 
available to the public.  Only $ 395 per pair.
