It's very easy to see what page you are looking up unless you encrypt the traffic by using HTTPS. HTTP sends the requests in ASCII and tcpdump will happily display the entire packet in both hexadecimal and ASCII forms.

audio and video are not much harder. The Mac comes with all the tools
required to display / play back audio and video and it is trivial to take a
stream captured with tcpdump and extract the payload, write it to disk
then play it back.

I've got a digital wireless phone at home. One of selling points was that it encrypts between the handset and the base station. If I had bought a wireless phone that didn't encrypt the radio signal I would expect that it could be heard by anyone in range.

I've got a wifi at home. It encrypts communication between the wifi capable device and the access point. If I turn that encryption off I expect that anyone the has a wifi capable device is capable of reading the communication.

My Mac with factory installed software can dump entire communication streams which I use regularly to debug networking problems.

"tcpdump -i en1 -s 0 -X port 25" will show all the email being sent.

There are options that allow you to detect MiTM SSL interception attacks by allowing you to verify the CERT being returned by a path that is not vulnerable. See: DANE.

No, he is thinking about adding a redirect to the *existing* HTTPS instances for everyone he can identify as coming from the UK.

No you don't. See The DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol: TLSA.

And use DANE to publish the CERT in a cryptographically verifiable manner,

And the next most untrustworthy party is your ISP.

Which is why cyclists are often banned from higher speed roads or have dedicated lanes where the difference in speed is likely to cause a issue.

If you are a slow vehicle you are also supposed to pull over and let other vehicles past.

Actually it isn't forbidden. What is forbidden is driving them on a public road/place without a licence which is about public safety and human rights not car rights.

Both

and

are both actionable and legal. It is the method of killing that matters not the killing itself.

The skis still have moving parts. They need to be lifted up and put down. For a robot like this, no moving parts means no movement at all.

Now there are transport systems with no moving parts but they use linear accelerators.

I call BS. Of the 2,437,163 deaths in the US in 2009, 28,088 were due to prostate cancer. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr60/nvsr60_03.pdf

As they say you are more likely to die with prostate cancer than of prostate cancer.

Then if I'm a black hat I just run a local http server and redirect traffic where I please. Now if applications checked for 0.0.0.0 and :: and didn't make a connection attempt one could use these to indicate that a site is not to be talked to. Unfortunately most applications will happily attempt to connect to 0.0.0.0 and :: and if there is a local service it will succeed.

If you are a ISP you don't talk to IANA and as a ISP you will continue to need the IPv4 addresses for quite a few years more so why would you want to give them back?

As for paying more to give each customer a /48 you would pay 8.1 times more in the APNIC region. If you choose to give your customers a /56 you would pay $0 more in the APNIC region. Most residential ISP's are looking to hand out /56's or /60's. When you look at it on a per customer basis with a million customers you have:
IPv4: 1180*1.3^(20-8) = 27376.0 AUD (2c/customer)
IPv6: 1180*1.3^(28-8) = 224200.0 AUD (21c/customer)

If you are not happy with the pricing model you can lobby to have it changed.
