Okay, I follow your arguments about whether or not the machine should have been siezed.
Can anyone answer what the possibilites are of info leakage when an administrator of a Tor node doesn't have good faith? For example, if the police were to set up a Tor node for themselves could they comprise the system for snooping?
It's being assumed that the person running the Tor node has no malicious intent, isn't it?
If the administrator wanted to use a Tor node to gain info on surfers could they? Is possible for a single Tor node to interecept meaningful data passing through their node/server?
If the police suspected that infomation was indeed being intercepted passing through a particular node then it would be logical for them to sieze the node, wouldn't it?
