intercept infrastructure is a tool.  usually the good guys use it, and
do good things with it.  (calea)

some times the good guys do bad things with it.  (plumbers)

some times the bad guys do impressive things with it.  (athens afair)

but this "tool" is here to stay (until rendered irrelevant with strong
end to end authentication and privacy, but sadly, that's a dream on my
bookshelf tucked between 'fusion power' and 'terraform mars')
