I wonder if you can capture USSD traffic with this. USSD is the tech the brings you the little menu or message that pop up on your cell phone's screen usually after dialing a short code like *122#. They're usually used to check your prepaid account's current balance but in Kenya and Somalia, USSD is what powers the mobile banking applications.

If you can capture that traffic, what I would like to know is if its encrypted. If it ain't, someone could do a lot of damage with this thing.
