Nope; if there's someone you know who is interested in making that a
configurable option, the source code is all available.

Yeah, at least a way to limit the communication to a single serial
number or something. That would at least avoid accidental stuff of this
nature.

I've built a prototype launch controller using the built-in AES engine
to secure the link; we could use something like that for radio link, but
it would leave you with the usual key distribution problem (getting the
same shared secret to multiple devices is a pain).
