Would changing your MTU for your frames make this more difficult or more uniquer and easier for frame/packet sniffing (I believe it would be frames for layer 2?)

A BBC spokesman said: 'There has been considerable inaccurate reporting this weekend about how TV Licensing will detect people breaking the law by watching BBC iPlayer without a licence. 

'While we don't discuss the details of how detection works for obvious reasons, it is wrong to suggest that our technology involves capturing data from private wi-fi networks.'

I think the whole surveillance van idea is just a bit of scaremongering that they never really deny too much just to scare a few extra people into paying the fee? I doubt they'd waste that much money... well actually it's the BBC so they probably would..
