Comment (by arma):

 Right -- see
 https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#RemotePhysicalDeviceFingerprinting

 OS's like Tails might want something for their traffic on the local
 network, but the Tor process itself does not worry about this issue: "Tor
 transports TCP streams, not IP packets, so we end up automatically
 scrubbing a lot of the potential information leaks."
