But if I can control your traffic I could change everything, couldn't I?

I mean, with the ability to inject whatever I wanted, I could spoof
traceroute, yes?  I could filter for that traffic and return whatever I

I could manufacture a series of packets showing that NYC and London were
only 10ms apart in such a case.
