No crap. That's only if they're specifically watching YOU or something
you're connected to in some way. However, a large, vibrant Tor network
would greatly hinder 'roving wiretap' type passive intel gathering
operations.<br>

tor does not apply to an NSA threat model; your low latency mix/onion
== p0wn3d by NSA, sorry.
from the FAQ they say as much: [6.7

"As mentioned above, it is possible for an observer who can view large
portions of the Internet (called a 'global adversary') to be able to
correlate timings of all traffic entering and exiting the tor network,
and thus link arbitrary users. Tor does not defend against such a
threat model."
that said, i think IPsec is a great idea in as many places as possible
assuming your key distribution/exchange is well implemented.
