I am looking for examples of a 'security caveat' used by commercial
service providers (or regionals) that warn users that the "Internet
is not safe, and there is no guarantee that their data will not be
intercepted, or ..."  Can those of you who have such 'Internet security
warnings' send them to me?

Thanks,

Just out of curiosity...  how can someone "intercept" data on internet
if you set up a router and the data never leaves your LAN?

You are more likely to be "hacked on" on the internet than actual
data theft.  But this can be dealt with in a number of ways...
A good router or a firewall can prevent most of this rif-raf.
