Capture some packets when using IE when it finds a web site using a
certificate whose entire certification path is not included in the local
machine account's "Trusted Root Certification Authorities".  What happens is
both enlightening and frightening when this occurs with the wrong
certificate.

I chose not to elaborate on the consequences.  I share erik's "sigh".
