I do not understand why those people think that Tor is a honeypot by the 
federal government. It is OPEN SOURCE. If you are by any means worried 
look at the source code and compile it manually. There is no hiding a 
backdoor. Unless every relay operator is helping the federal government 
(which at that point the information would leak) then there isn't a way 
to backdoor Tor. I don't understand why people do not take the time to 
research things.
