OK.. I'll bite.  How do you know most Tor exit points are operated by
intelligence or police agencies?

I mean, it sounds reasonable, but how do you *know*?

Yeah.  I've heard that too.  But using tor - or any encryption, is
still legal, so what I'm doing doesn't even rise to the level of civil
disobedience.
So if they're going to put me on a list, they're going to put me on a
list.  I've been using tor since however long ago when it came bundled
with privoxy, so I doubt that me not using tor now is going to make a
difference.

Indeed.  The TOR documentation used to be up-front about tor not being
proof against a global adversary, so I doubt the NSA needs to bother
my ISP asking for records.
I was just poking around on torproject.org (which has been rumored to
be enough to get one on a watch list) and I don't see any strong
warnings about using tor :(  Or even much of anything that would
discourage one from using TOR.
Oh well.. I guess they need lots of cannon fodder to provide covering
traffic for .. who?
