Ignore the first part.

Refusing to talk to someone's laywer is bad enough, but saying they're going to pounce on her uninvited out of nowhere is completely over the top.

If the require some documentation that someone is representing someone else, maybe they should also accept mailed and/or faxed documents for proof.

Nowhere in the communications with the FBI they have mentioned TOR or any connection with that. That's all made up by the author.

She mentioned she works on the Tor project and asks the question if her participation is relevant in this case. That part isn't made up.

I find it reasonable for someone to assume that their participation in a currently legal (but controversial) project would be a potential reason that the FBI wanted to question you.

It's not that much of a stretch to imagine that the reason the FBI are threatening to abduct her off the street and deny her the right to legal counsel is somehow related to her being a major Tor contributor.

ok thanks
