Surely a "sealed communication" would be data sent over https, or otherwise encrypted.

If I carry out a conversation in public, I shouldn't be surprised if people overhear what I'm saying.
If you want to compare these to a postal system your conversation in public is a postcard, your letter is a private communication and a sealed communication would be a tamperproof letter sent by bonded courier.
It is my understanding that deep packet inspection of data should not routinely occur on the internet in the UK just as routine inspection of letters or routine bugging of telephone calls does not occur.
