Violating the security policy on output is *very* bad.

If the code can't be changed to actually encrypt the packets, it should
at least blackhole them on output -- always.  If it can't be changed to
blackhole them, it should be changed to refuse to allow such security
policy rules to be loaded, to emit a loud, obvious warning when a kernel
is so configured, and to emit a loud, obvious warning when such a kernel
is booted.

Silently emitting unencrypted traffic that the user expected to be
encrypted is *really* bad.
