if your intent is to inform and educate these people, its probably good to highlight the
Deep packet inspection,at the top,and include this from the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_packet_inspection
"
Deep packet inspection (and filtering) enables advanced
security functions as well as internet
data mining,
eavesdropping,
censorship, etc.

it might even be good to include
"
Lawful intercept
Service providers are required by various governments around the world and their agencies to allow
lawful intercept capabilities.
This had been previously met by creating a
traffic access point (TAP) using an
intercepting proxy server that connects to the government's surveillance equipment.
Now that this functionality can be included in the DPI, DPI products that are "
CALEA-compliant" can be used as a TAP to collect a user's datastream.
