    No, it means they (the idiots that claim to have hacked it) found an   
   open stream that was NOT ever encrypted.  All they succeeded in doing was   
   finding a carrier.  No technical prowess required whatsoever.   
      
   >2. The protocol is encipherable.   
      
     No.  It is more likely not encrypted at all.   
      
   >3. It is theoretically possible to inject bogus data into the stream.   
      
     Absolutely not.  The GPS timestamps are going to keep that from ever   
   happening.  Just because the video is able to be seen, that doesn't mean   
   that there was not more data included with each frame.  In fact, I am   
   sure that there is.
