>... Keep in mind that the NSA will start scooping up all of your packets simply because you visited torproject.org.

I wonder how true that is.

Based on a cursory glance, this looks to be true through the XKeyscore program [0] (CTRL-F Tor)

only if you don't live in the Five Eyes. though I definitely wouldn't bet my freedom on it.

When you're trying to cover your tracks, it's best to assume the worst at all times, even if it's unlikely.

Besides, it's not like the NSA doesn't have the capability to scoop all packets from people they've seen visited torproject.org.
