If you're using Tor from a coffee shop, so an IP address alone isn't enough to identify you.

Or if you're in a country oppressive enough that they'll raid your house for using Tor, but free enough that they'll let you off if they don't find evidence you were doing something illegal over Tor, and they didn't compromise the site you were visiting just asked your ISP to look for Tor users.

Definitely ignorant on the subject, but are there ANY nations that would meet that requirement? I would assume any that are savvy enough to detect tor AND care about it would probably not just say "Oh you crazy kids. Be more careful next time"
