It's pretty amazing how the use of Tor drives this kind of wishful ignorance. You see it all the time on /r/darknetmarkets

Notice that even the two agents caught stealing from Ross thought tor as secure

Also notice that most criminals are dumb and send their drug shipments through regular mail or air mail..very stupid..and also notice that those shipments tipped off LE..

Take-way anonymous is only secure at its weakest link..the weakest link here was the physical drug shipments..that will never be secure..ever

Maybe there's a way to do it with throwaway robots.
