I'm going to have to take the cowards way out in this, and just dodge all the
moral/ethical justifications and judgments on their worthiness.

Instead, I'll just approach this from a technical PoV, and offer Tor as a
solution.  Touted by the EFF, Tor is an Onion-routing implementation which
passes your connect to an entry server, a middle server, and then out of an exit
server.  The idea is, even if one server is compromised, the final destination
is still obscured.

Of course, it requires some installation; so if they've locked down her
workstation, or require traffic to run through a decently restrictive proxy;
then it may not work.
