I can see your point and TOR does have some security applications if
used in properly and with those goals in mind. (i.e. only connecting to
https or other encrypted endpoints). The main goal of TOR is clearly
anonymity. If the main goal was security having data leave the exit
nodes in the clear would be a definite no no. I was also just being
clear that I did not think of TOR as a
firewall/antivirus/anti-malware/etc system when I used the term
Security.
