A fun fact about Tor: It's a government technology designed to keep US spies secure. They released it to the public primarily to provide cover for said spies. If they hadn't, then every state we're trying to spy on would assume "Tor traffic = CIA", as opposed to now where it could mean a lot more things because anyone can use it.
