This sounds extremely rude to me as someone who values privacy. I would no
more like someone surveiling the times and routes I take to work than I
would someone doing the same to my IP packets. Yeah maybe they can't see
what is in it... but if they can look at the beginning and endpoints, then
where it goes in between is hardly relevant. There goes the privacy just
the same.

Eh... We just need to make our own internet... The "Anti-Peeping-Tom-Net"
Yeah.
Grumble.
