This was never about the "average person" (that has clearly already lost, especially in USA) but the _dedicated_ practitioner with domain expertise. Most physical risks that one would need to mitigate, completely disappear when one _is not operational_ in meatspace, you assume this is always the case. It is not. I'm going to stop here, I'd ask you to read again what _you wrote_ esp the parts about blending into crowds, learning area traffic patterns etc. These would be well-placed in Hollywood movies, but I fear you're deluding yourself in a major way if you believe they're remotely close to being practical.

You've hit me with at least 3 ad hominems but no counter-evidence so far. You should stop. While you're at it, you should look up one of those Tor papers where they say they deanonymize (percentage here) traffic for all hiding in the Tor network. Then come back with the attack on my methods that deanonymized the same percentage. You won't because it's delusional to think average or experts will be safer given all of them that were already compromised online (including Tor) remotely, stealthily, and cheaply. Versus the gangs and spooks kicking same LEO's asses with stuff simple as shortwave radio in random places and affiliated couriers delivering messages. Or has the NSA remotely uncovered a third to half of all terrorists, cartel members, or IP thieves? Wait, they're still going strong by the billions in cash and damage with impunity.

  TOR de-anonymization can be factored into a working OPSEC strategy. The OP article itself _demonstrates a pedophilia ring that did not get compromised due to correct usage of TOR and other measures_. I also love your constant assumptions about .. everything really. And you're supposed to be some sort of expert? I think not.
