Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Mmm. It appears I have under-estimated the problem. It seems anything Tor
 does at a routing level, the user loses. I know Tor cannot defeat the
 global passive adversary, but it seems Tor cannot even protect against a
 local passive adversary.  The Steven Murdoch paper on IX sampling should
 scare everyone the most.

 I wonder if there is a solution to this problem at all.
