dotnet web services enhancements : Why are policy files ineffective

In the WSE samples ResponseEncryption the policy file requires the request to
be signed and the response to be encrypted. The sample runs on my machine.
However, if I try to intercept the request with TcpTrace took so that I can
see the signatures etc., I see a message with no signatures.

I thought maybe the TcpTrace tool is also WSE based and is removing
signatures etc. when it intercepts a message. However, I created a policy
file for a simple web service that required the request to be signed with a
certificate or a kerberos token. I can create a client that does not do any
signing and still gets the response back.

Any ideas on what is happenning here?

Thanks in advance,

Are you modifying the service address at the client so that it goes
through TcpTrace but no longer matches your policy file?
