Modern SDR kit that can capture an entire 10 mhz cellular carrier (for
later processing) is under $1k last I checked. Its not realtime, but
its close enough.

Its just a matter of programming. If it hasn't been done already, it
will be sooner or later. I still don't talk about things that I desire
any level of security with on the phone, its STILL the safest method of all.
