Are different countries/areas entry+exit choseable?



Hi tor gurus, please note that even if I am a tor tester and user from log years ago, I am still to be considered a newbie.

Summary of this thread: Is currently tor able to easily let users to chose a setup as to always set different (user chose-able) countries/areas combinations for entry/exit chain, to lower the risk of unfair one-world-only adversary profiling nodes?

As most of you are would agree, from a global (planet) human privacy (anonymity) rights point of view ... who can trust any specific law-enforcement agencies (even the US ones) running or controling tor nodes? ... as they are so ready to profile you (echelon, phorm, etc) for years and to sell your body (or your corporation) to any eventual adversary/enemy in trade of any terrorist, economic or the like information?

Scenario sample 1: A tibetan pacific activist from NY, under US "identity protection", suddenly is tortured and jailed for 10 yeras for no specific reason when traveling to China-Tibet to visit its relatives .. Some one has eavesdropped its Internet and sold this information to Chineses in exchange of specific terrorist information ... or in exchange or who knows what obscure trade as US citizens (and the world) are forced blinds about this matters. We are paying agents that do not report us what they are doing with our money... maybe nothing but huge houses in Bahamas ...

Scenario sample 2: Your corporation is losing contracts against its eu rivals, you don't know how. Some one was spying on you and sold this info to your eu rivals gov agencies in trade of who knows what, probably under the cover hat of national security.

Who surveys the surveyors? That's the eternal question.

In the meantime, as free-speech and privacy is most important for humanity progress than combating criminals and terrorists via an extensive population orwellian surveillance, anonymizer networks must be an Internat standard and must be tweakeable (set up per default) im a manner that the user can chose its less dangerous influent adversary and chain nodes countries/areas combinations, as well as entry and exit ones, and those must be also set per default from different law/politics countries/areas. e.g. entry eu, exit asia, never entry eu exit eu, entry us exit us.

If our current "employees2 are unable to combat crime and terrorism without undermining (read destroying) pilar key human rights, we must fire them ASAP and look for some one else to do the job, or maybe we have to fund them properly, say with 50% or our properties and revenues, to create a fairer world and perhaps then crime and terrorism would be only a matter of ill people in need of psychiatrist help.
