95% of what these devices trigger on are false-positives. Anyone who has
ever dealt with them for any length of time should know that. The trick
is tuning them and white-listing stuff to make them more useful. Bottom

network "security device" has yet another false-positive. 

Most people I know don't put these things in block mode precisely for
these reasons.
