I guess i don't necessarily disagree with your NOBUS assessment of TOR strength, it's hard to say without confirmed facts tho. Funny I always think of crypto algorithms as the examples of NOBUS: the NIST ones, etc. Again, no confirmed facts but that would be a source and method you really wouldn't want to confirm and burn.

What do you mean by parallel constructions? Is that where LE discovers evidence through extralegal means, then needs to rebuild the narrative through a legally valid chain? Could be, but then again there's probably a lot of TOR identities that are completely out of reach for LE, leaving them with only legal construction. Wouldn't you say?

I sometimes wonder about something, too: you know those "small" cases with huge human cost, like missing child, or murder in a backwoods area? I always imagine that classified capabilities could be used to solve them. The fact they are not, is painful, and I think must be "moral trauma" for LE/IC people involved. Even more so that they can't talk to anyone about it except their organizational therapists if then.
