NAT also severely complicates interactions with Law Enforcement at times.

LE: "I have a connection to Yahoo.com from your IP a.b.c.d at this time (measured in minutes, not seconds) - can you 
identify the user?"

IR: "That IP maps to several hundred hosts behind a NAT, with a 30-second inactivity timeout on the NAT bindings.  Can 
you be more specific about source port information for our IP and timing down to sub-second, ideally?"

LE:  "...."

Fortunately,  so far we haven't had any life- and safety-related queries from LE that went down this path.
