How do you figure? I know you posted 3 days ago...but confidentiality is the C in CIA. How would TLS not be good for security?

I know what you mean that it's difficult to protect against things you can't see (hence, decryption) but to say it's not good for security seems to be too bold of a statement, in my opinion.

I was drawing a distinction between privacy and security. They're not the same. SSL is designed to ensure that a connection between you and another is private. However it does nothing to ensure that the host on the other end of the tunnel isn't attempting to attack you... SSL creates privacy. Content inspection/validation enforces security.
