Would it though? I guess state agencies already know all nodes or may know all nodes. When you have a ton of meta-information all cross-linked, they can probably identify people quite accurately; may not even need 100% accuracy at all times and could do with less. I was thinking about that when they used information from any surrounding area or even sniffing through walls (I think? I don't quite recall the article but wasn't there an article like that in the last 3-5 years? The idea is to amass as much information as possible, even if it may not primarily have to do with solely the target user alone; e. g. I would call it "identify via proxy information").

Assume the same.
