However, most ops have probably not even heard about ICMP tunnelling. Even if 
this one has, examining the contents of the ICMP Echo payload will probably not 
be the first thing an ordinary op does. She will probably think you are ICMP 
flooding the target, though, and that is probably a graver offence than a 
little tunnelling.

If it's a public hotspot you probably have nothing much to fear, though, as you 
are anonymous and practically impossible to trace.
