I don't know if you know this, but the internet is a bit wider than the reach of the US authorities.
Hahahahaha
Darpa would like a word with you
And what would that word be, exactly? How will it change the fact that US feds can't seize servers which exist outside the US?
Because the feds NEVER act out of their jurisdiction, RIGHT?

A North Carolinian server. I think that's in America, right?
How many were actually busted? Isn't that just the amount of traffic? Busting 215 000 pedophiles would've definitely made the news...
Three Americans? Good job, feds, but that doesn't exactly disprove my point about the feds' limited (if sizable) reach.
So to people who open non-tor links from tor are vulnerable? That's not exactly news.
Tor isn't a magical shield that makes everything cop-proof, but feds definitely don't have power over it the way you seem to imply they do.
Sure

Having the ability to monitor Google and Yahoo datacenters still doesn't mean that US feds can do anything about servers not located in the US.
They can't physically go to another country do to cop shit. I don't know how to say it more simply.
