This is not true at present; most ISPs don't implement egress filtering
let alone traffic flow analysis. It is available but expensive; a report
prepared for the French government which I will try to extract from
nextgens seems to indicate that it's not possible globally, or that it's
prohibitively expensive globally.

Personally I think it's more likely that they'd NAT everyone.
