Spying on data

If it's *my* device, then I don't want you to be able to look at the data! Unfortunately, some of the best tools for analyzing your own network activity do double-duty as tools that spy on my network activity.

This all seems to be a reaction against middleboxes that (rightly or wrongly) want to inspect and/or change traffic they aren't a party to. The link had a fairly interesting example where network middleboxes arguably should have access to traffic: internal to a corporate-owned network (particularly when the enterprise activity is highly regulated as in banking).
