It's not legal for an ISP to modify computer data. Especially digitally signed data. That's a criminal offense.
Citation? Hint - a *big* chunk of ISPs have NAT deployed, and that's messing with packet headers. Much as many of us would like to see NAT go away, I don't think we want an environment where deploying NAT gets us a new roommate and best friend named Bubba. Oh, and if you're not modifying the TTL field, you're Doing It Wrong.
It's not legal for a vendor to sell or give away equipment that aids interception and modification of data. That's a criminal offense.
Again, citiation? Meanwhile, CALEA *requires* you to have a network that aids in at least the interception of data. What's a poor ISP to do?
