Wow, Tor is still a thing? We have confirmation that security agencies have taken over exit nodes and injected spyware before to track targets. I'm surprised anyone uses it. It's like the security lottery.
Sometime in the near future, I predict that the US will require some form of photo I.D before using an internet kiosk. As usual, the spin will be to protect the children.

I think this is a great concept, yet perhaps too little, too late (Journalists should know PGP and drop boxes like these should have been common already). I also worry a bit because of Washington Post's track record with leaks, of the top of my head:
- Washington Post was Snowden's first choice, but they put up enough demands for Snowden to move to The Guardian. [1]
- Washington Post, according to Assange, had access to the "Collateral Murder" video a whole year before WikiLeaks published their edited video. [2]
- Washington Post employs op-ed columnists that call for assassination of "criminally dangerous" leakers like Assange [3]

If anything, the real concern here is the implicit encouragement to use local library computers, which would be much easier for a government agency (or cybercriminal) to infect with malware and observe.

Fortunately, they can't do that for all the open/WEP/WPS wireless APs everywhere.
Does anyone know what the codenames are like? If they are easy enough to remember, then they may be easy enough to brute-force?
