The real problem with Tor

The real problem is that nefarious governments locate physical locations connecting to TOR by complicit ISPs and go after the people and hardware.

That is true - you are hiding something - your traffic, your destinations, and your sources, because not much can be ascertained in any other way. There's nothing illegal about using TOR, and in fact, everyone should if they value privacy. That said, it's pointless to use TOR when hitting your email or posting to Twitter or Facebook, so the general usefulness of TOR as a percentage of traffic has actually dropped.
