>Like all gun laws - or laws in general :) I think there's a sliding scale of effectiveness for any laws banning stuff - like, if you want to stop piracy then for some people you'd need to somehow destroy all Tor-related infrastructure, but for your steretypical grandmother all you'd have to do is DMCA the one website they've used. Similarly, if it merely makes it HARD to do something, that's often worth the effort. Of course, when you're trying to prevent professional aeroplane hijackings, that's basically useless and not worth the effort.
