I was under the impression that this "interceptable" feature (on network level) also limits the power of the network to p2p and limits its length. Since repeaters, switches and routers also change the state of the photons.
It still is interceptable on application level at the two end nodes.
And it only is "non-interceptable" while there is no technology to manipulate at a moleculair level. If thats available to build repeaters etc. it also is interceptable.
The last thing there are always two sides of the mirror. It could also be usefull for the crackers to secure their data in transfer and devastating for security managers.
