I find it really, really hard to believe that even Educated Joe
Sixpack reading all the NSA revelations, worldwide, in nearly all
countries, just now suddenly became both worried enough and tech-savvy
enough to install Tor and start using it.

We can hope, but it seems very unlikely, even combined with a Pirate
Browser bump in traffic.
