If you do I hope you can make sure you aren't part of any illegal activity such as the trafficing of child pornography.

Just like you ask all manufacturers of photographic equipment to make sure they aren't used for any illegal activities, such as photographing nude children?

"Issues" is putting it mildly. Prepare to be treated as an accomplice, if not worse, if the traffic is traced to your IP address.

Not quite, it's more like letting people develop film using your equipment. There's a lot more you can do to prevent it at that point.

Actually there is nothing you can do, which is the whole point of Tor.
