You are not giving anywhere near enough credit to those who would be your adversary.

The NSA routinely intercepted Google internal traffic. Did Google, who are presumably running the most advanced network on the planet and staffed by people who don't suck, notice the intrusion? They did not; they got informed via PowerPoint.

While the sophistication of the attackers decreases as you move from NSA to random hackers, so does the sophistication of the network as you move from Google to mid-sized businesses.

How are these even similar? Did the NSA ever send traffic of their own on the Google network infrastructure? Citation needed if so, because I recall they merely listened in on existing traffic using external network equipment.
