I would think US governemnt actors, using tor, would be some of the only people that might have a reasonable expectation that it works... not because their traffic or metadata about their traffic can't be pwned to some extent, but because they work for or with some of the only people capable of such attacks (the NSA). Tor is not secure against a GPA... but is the US/NSA the only "real" GPA that counts? John
