Is it possible for water to leak between the gaps in the spiral metal jacket?

I saw some similar armored cable yesterday....running along the floor line of a building and dissapearing into the pedestal of a phone booth. Yup....outside.

I'm hoping it's just armored telephone cable and not the wiring for the little light in the "PHONE" sign. However it looked just as fat as 14-gauge BX.
