I'm sorry, but this is simply an unsupportable statement.  What is
required of routers is that the provider be able to configure the device
to make copies of certain packets to a monitoring port.  Assuming that
the monitoring port is duly managed, how does this qualify as "insecure"?

It qualifies as "insecure" because if that rather dubious assumption fails to
be true, you have a big problem.
