Actually, you can set up to 4 decryption keys in the lucent card, and
select which is used for transmit.  This allows, from what I can tell:

	o rotating keys.  Every month or so, remove one and replace
	it.  The net effect is that a key is used at most 4 months.

	o give one key to one group, another to a second, and a third
	to a third.  If one is compromised, the other keys are still
	safe.

However, I agree with your analysis.  Scary that this is passed of as
wired-equavalent.
