The TOR project in it's entirety was created by the CIA for secure communications. It's public because no matter how secure, if only spies use TOR, then it would be easy to catch them.
I don't mean to imply that TOR is insecure, it's open source and the Government has an interest that it be secure. But if you're going to annoy the US government, you better have good opsec because they understand TOR better than anyone.
That's just wrong but sure
There's plenty of defcon talks given by the tor developers and Americas / fbis attempt to shut them down
Aren't the three letter agencies constantly bickering?
