This works against global passive adversaries.
If you instead ask yourself "how many Tor nodes are out there"[1], and then ask yourself "what is the NSA's annual budget"[2], the concept of a global active adversary makes me a bit nervous.

The scary thing about a global passive adversary is that the attack is undetectable. Active attacks are harder to defend against but they're also harder to keep secret.
