Jason,

I have not always agreed with the idea that this is intercepting communications.

Well.. IANAL, but the way I read it if your looking at content then it is. In the US at least.

Now with that being said, to run some HIDS on you wireless connection
is almost the same right?
I can't find the document at the moment, but I remember reading that HIDS \ NIDS fall under the role of specialized devices because of the intent. Maybe "Wall of Sheep" could be argued here :)
