What worries me is that if you want to do government work (even quite innocuous stuff), your job depends on getting security clearance. Certainly in the UK, Europe general and probably in the US, your ISP retains a list of all the IP addresses you connect to, and they supply this to the government if they have national security grounds. At least in the UK, security clearance is grounds to pull your internet records, they say so on public government websites. I think that in future, if your household connects to known TOR bridge nodes, that might well impact if you can do government work, from IT at your local tax office to army work. Probably paranoia, but I'm staying away from TOR for this reason. Which is a shame because what some ad networks do is really, really creepy.
