It's simple. I will monitor your networks and if I see somthing that looks like TOR(omg) I send my police buddys to shoot you in the face.

Exactly. It would be exceedingly difficult to locate the silk road server, but trivially easy to find someone who was going to it

No it wouldn't. You can determine if someone is running Tor, but not which sites they are visiting with it. That's sort of the whole point.
