Does anyone know if there exists a tool to perform SSL at the firewall level instead of at the browser so that I can watch my charges' internet downloading? I don't want to spy on them I only want to spy on those that do something they're not supposed to. As you well know, we can't have our most precious national resource, our children, talking to strangers about their sex lives, real or imagined. 'Cyber' is not funny, 'cyber' is not harmless. What they _think_ is a 15yo high school student in Pasadena _could in fact_ be a 19yo college student in *their* town. I won't abuse the system to get their hotmail passwords and read their mail, because we've already blocked hotmail.com and made them use mail and chat in which we can protect them from their baser urges. But they keep getting out over https:// and now there's this new Peek-at-booty that disguises itself as a credit card # upload. Although we have already dusted off our nuclear evacuation manuals in order to teach our children what to do if the sky starts to fall, 'duck and cover' will not cut it on the Internet. We must co-operate unquestioningly if we are to protect our nation's future from child sex predators and advocates of child sex predators. A child's life may be in your hands at this very instant. Think about it.
