No, because dropping the first packet in a TCP connection means that the handshake doesn't complete. Tarpitting allows the handshake to complete and then keeps the connection open, which will keep the client connected for a much longer time than if a host doesn't respond to a SYN packet at all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_(networking)
Would be a car that logged exactly where it went and at what speed, automatically uploading it to a PC in your house.
I don't think kids would be anywhere near as reckless knowing that their parents would see exactly how they'd been driving.
What would be really powerful would be a google desktop search which could search multiple machines at once eg. your desktop, laptop, perhaps even keeping an offline index of your usb drives. Then you could search in one place and easily find whatever you're looking for.
I can see the privacy issues now, though.

That's not tarpitting. Tarpitting involves keeping the connection open in order to tie up the resources of the attacking host.
Or just add some salt?
Hasn't that already been done?
...that is all.
km/h of course...

The obvious reason would be because google desktop search can search inside files and thus index emails etc.
