Don't compare the access US govt employees have @ work, (where our tax dollars pay the bills) to the access these same employees have in their homes. The Chinese "government" is not just blocking its employees internet access while on the job, it is limiting free speech in the entire country. Such an arrogant comparison is dangerous. Lets not forget our countrymen who were held against their will as pow's for 2 weeks last year. China is an oppressive communist dictatorship, hate our government all you want, at home you have free reign of the net.

BFD, packets can be sniffed and access to certain sites can be blocked. so what? nothing new here. We get questions on this list regularly about how to do it. There are several companies, including but not only Cisco, who make a lot of money selling content blocking products. Most things in life can be used for good or evil. The internet is no different. Corporate and government response to the internet is no different. BTW, does the US government filter access to the internet for it's employees and from it's offices? bet they do!
