Earlier quoted context omitted.
Schneier told people to use Tor to avoid the NSA[0]. Telling people to use Tor when Tor offers almost no anonymity guarantees against a global passive adversary (which the NSA almost certainly is), is not good advice at all. In fact, it's actively harmful since it both gives people a false sense of security and instructs the to wave a giant red flag saying I HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE. [0] http://www.theguardian.com/worl…
If everyone used Tor they wouldn't stand out individually, and I think it's fair to assume Schneier offered his suggestions in that sense.
But there is still the problem that it offers no anonymity against the NSA and he is suggesting that it does.
