Any crooked peer can route into the dreaded Omaha and to a crooked NY peer faster than any safe route can go west through Asia.
I think the idea is that you can't go through Omaha and have a router in Asia saying that it handled your data within the time constraints.

The implied attacker model: you are safe unless your packet traverses an unsafe country. Wrong in my opinion (RFC 7258). As a scientist I've seen this over-and-over again. No healthy scientific community exists around privacy. SIGCOMM-like venue want novel/crazy ideas. We known onion routing works to a large extend. However, it is a career/tenure killer to work on that. No grants. No citations.
