I hope you are right, but this administration is not backing down from anything unpopular or unconstitutional. This signals that they are not concerned about future elections, similar to how Russia and many other dictatorships have 'elections'.

Metallica have never been politically polarising. They are about their music and the Metallica family, accepting of both sides, because at the end of the day we are all just people, not fkn sports teams.

That's mostly true, I'm not talking RADIUS here (root certs also need to be trusted in the certificate chain). I'm specifically referencing SSL inspection, assuming of course that SSL inspection is being performed! MDM enrollment may be another way to get additional certs installed though..

Yes, correct, it's a 'to join the wifi you need to install this cert' situation. Whether users are informed as to why they need to, well that's another story ..and if a device is just handed to someone in IT to 'just make it work', then they'll likely just install that cert and not say a word.

Doesn't matter, personal devices would still likely have a cert installed to decrypt all traffic for inspection. That's what we did in the last school I worked at, except we didn't intercept sensitive services e.g. banking sites. This was purely so we could provide duty of care to students.
