To be fair, I'm pretty sure Google is entirely HTTPS and searches
can't be listened in on in this manner. What you navigate to after
searching though... that's another story.

Personally, I love this. Alex is giving us all a sneak peek at what
any network sysadmin can leisurely listen in on. Don't think for one
moment that you're local corporate or school networks don't look at
your traffic in similar ways. Defcon takes this concept a step further
with the "Wall of Sheep", but they focus on user-names and passwords
instead of pictures.

However, this gives you a chance to look into and play with ways
around it. The CryptoParty will cover it in more detail, but I do
recommend reading up on HTTPS and the HTTPS Everywhere[1] extension.

Ps. Phoul, I'm hesitant to recommend HTTPS Everywhere without your
endorsement, so feel free to let me know if I'm wrong about this one :)
