If your dealer is not currently a player in the game show one all does not apply. The reason for the rule is so that no one player has an advantage in the game over the others, since the dealer is not a player he can't get an advantage. It happens all the time that a player sitting next to a dealer will lift their cards up for the dealer to see them. Technically this should not happen because it is unprofessional for a dealer to be looking at the cards, but really what can you do when the guy next you picks them up and shoves them in your face. Though the dealer should simply try not to look and should never pickup cards to look at them.

Have to disagree with you there. Since the dealer was a player in the game, the show one show all rule applies. Everyone would have the right to see the cards if the dealer saw them. THis includes players who were beat out.

Why? What makes you think players no longer in the tournament have any interest in the hands? (they have be interested in the sense that they want to see them, but they are not interested in the sense that they have no stake in the outcome.) Are you suggesting that in a big tournament a player who is eliminated early can hang around a table and enforce the Show One Show All rule? The dealer WAS a[player in the game that is past tense. The dealer IS NOT a player in the game.
