It drops everything but capture capability, this is a hard call but
given the successive security problems with wireshark I believe it
is safer not to allow anything else.

Perhaps it would be nice to add a --dont-drop-capabilities flag; I
won't make it this week but I'll keep the report open so I don't
forget about it.
