couple of hours later, no issues.  does DCS1000 / $TLA_spy_tech
support Thawte/Verisign certificate MITM?  i'd really like to know how
often the big three cert co's cooperate...

Cooperation from CAs is not *that* helpful because you risk detection
when you swap public keys in transit.

OTOH, providing services to the intelligence community is an
interesting funding model for a search engine or a webmail provider. 8-)
