Yes but did you ever sit through a 2 week trial with each second ticking by
thinking as the barristers and elected judges drone on, "how many millions
of unsolved crimes will be committed before this jury arrives with verdict?"

Obtain not solicitor!  Devise encryption at one end & decipher at other end.
But you need for encryption & decipher to change simultaneously once with
every and each second according to orchestrated program delivered by bonded
courier who arrives once each week from secret location headquarters.  But
what about interface between this second and following second?  You need
pause during interface.  In military, courier comes each day with decipher
code.  All passwords must be encrypted.

Naaaaaaaaa

Is it true that your traffic is more likely to be eavesdropped upon?

I am not a lawyer, but is anyone here sure that there are legal  
protections against network administrators listening that would not  
apply to Tor node operators?
