Dunno -- looks like McCullagh got it pretty much spot on:

"At the moment, large network providers tend to trust that other
network providers are behaving reasonably--and aren't intentionally
trying to hijack someone else's Internet addresses. And errors that
do arise tend to be fixed quickly by manual intervention."

I may have missed it, but I didn't see any account of pervasive
BGP filtering being done in the Internet...
