   Two, I've heard rumors of people claiming it
   is possible to "remote sniff" traffic, by sending carefully contructed BGP
   advertisements which reroute the desired traffic to the sniffer, and then
   routing it back out.  It sounds very complicated to me, but I believe
   there are people out there capable of doing it.

Yes, this is trivially doable.  Most every operator knows how.
