Technically, the answer is wrong because you can decode a securestring, e.g. by using it to create a credential object:
$securestring = Read-Host "Password" -AsSecureString
$cred = New-Object -TypeName PSCredential "test",$securestring
$cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password

Hmm, that's scary. I've worried about secure strings, though I know there are some limitations on who can see them. Can others see this if they have access to the secure string for running a script?
