When is a wire not a wire?

"COTTONMOUTH, a bargain-priced $20,000 USB 2 cable that could wirelessly intercept or modify communications between a PC and USB peripherals."

Interesting philosphical question - is it possible to perform a wireless intercept when the device performing the intercept is itself a wire?
