Au contraire. The man-in-the-middle attacks need not be on the same WiFi network--they're just easier. I'm pretty sure, though, this would require compromising one or more routers in the network--which is well within the capability of semicompetent black hats, not to mention NSA or Israel's Unit 8200.
No tinfoil required. Israel actively spies on the US (and other nations), even though their leadership promised to cease such activity after the Pollard case. Their activity is in the same category as China and France, which is to say very competent. Komodia is dragged along with many ISV products, which is one heck of a stealth distribution system.
