sure, this doesn't capture everything, but i suspect these filters are tuned more for what they want to discard (p2p movie and warez traffic, that'd eliminate quite a chunk, right?) than for what they want to inspect.

Another point that was made years ago on Cypherpunks is that the presence of crypto "where it doesn't belong" is probably a very high risk indicator. In other words, if your sender IP isn't some bank or big company and you're using crypto, they probably grab ALL of that and send it to high-cost processes.
The moral of this story is: Use Stego in your P2P'd Porno if you want to send anything discretely.
The increasing use of crypto in popular P2P (e.g., Azureus' newest releases) is a godsend for privacy. Steve
