Bull.
Sure you CAN trace people and 100% of the time it comes thru either exploits in the network itself OR when an idiot lets another application leak his information. Actually TRACING someone through TOR? Nope. Its not hard to become truly invisible on the internet. The hard part is STAYING invisible. You have to be paranoid about every application and have your network/browser/firewalls locked down. You also need to be concerned with what kind of information you are sending out. The problem with anonymity is not TOR, its the morons that use TOR thinking that clicking a button means everything is encrypzored and 1337 haxr0z status can do anything and be an anon.
A lot of people in this thread have been watching too much CSI.
Actually, the exit nodes have the information on you and all that is needed is for the police to subpoena the exit node used. Many exit nodes could easily be honeypots as well. It's the same as using a VPN service. They're not going to hide your information from the police if it means them getting shut down or turning over your details. Which is why people having a need to hide themselves don't use their own internet or financial info.
