At first thought, chaffing seems like a pretty good idea, but isn't it vulnerable to analysis? By which I mean, if the spooks can demonstrate (based on tracking identifiable markers in your cookies or some other means) that you're at your office, shouldn't they be able to effectively ignore any traffic from your home internet connection?
Maybe if we were all running Tor exit nodes or something, but naïve chaffing sounds pretty ... well, naïve.

- chippy 12y agomixing the chaff from other users (somehow) would be even better. I seem to recall an early experiment that did this.
