This comment, from his blog (Ankaboot), could be prophetic: (thanks for the link, btw)

"So potentially at least, you're pushing some hot buttons here. I'd suggest that you acquire some legal oversight ~ a 
lawyer or two, that is ~ before you start passing out packet sniffing results to anyone, or in any way going beyond the 
one-to-one relationships between you and each of your sniffers. I think it would be wise to consider the possibility of a 
lawsuit against your sniffers (for acquiring personal digital information) and you (for soliciting that) and check with an 
attorney just to be on the safe side."

Otoh, he probably doesn't have to worry about getting heat from any Fed. Gov't. agency .<s>
