I think it would be a great reason to start presenting about Tor at
LUGs, BUGs, and business development working groups, along with
discussion of risk factors appropriate to the field that Tor helps
mitigate.  Counter paranoia with discussion of basic OPSEC and
changing perception.

It might.  It's a little worrisome.  I think some of it depends on
whether or not one's screen is something a lot of people look at
(though due to some other 'warning signs' like paying in cash for a
cup of coffee this might become more of an issue).  It also would
depend somewhat on whether or not anyone was monitoring the wireless
net of a coffee shop, restaurant, etc. and how closely they were watching.

If patience is bitter, the result is sweet.
