Kevin Bankston, a lawyer at the EFF who specializes in surveillance and
privacy law, is very certain that it is illegal for Tor operators to
surveil Tor traffic in many or most circumstances.  You can hit him up
for more info (I think his contact info is still in the Tor Legal FAQ),
or you can play it safe by using end-to-end encryption and not
surveilling Tor traffic going through your Tor server.  :)
