I think you're misunderstanding: the router is watching traffic and gives clues
that "we're gassing the rebels" that was added to all of the  DPI vectors
which get surreptitiously added to the other DPI terms unbeknownst to the
owner and sent back to the attacker. That's enormously powerful. All it takes
is sufficient money and motivation. Is this speculative? Of course -- I'm not
a spook. Is it possible? You bet.
