You are right...except that if you really have pissed of NSA, it is impossible for you to rely on tor only. Tor doesn't route all of your traffics through its network (and that's where other proxies come in) so it's not 100% secure.
Take down of silk road was enough to deter many criminals on the network. I would personally not rely on just tor.

Rights group protests Pak Internet Exchange hack by British agency
The Digital Rights Foundation on Tuesday said that it was seriously concerned by revelations of the infiltration of Pakistan’s Internet Exchange by Britain’s GCHQ intelligence agency, and urged the Government of Pakistan to take action to protect the right to privacy of Pakistani citizens, and to condemn the actions of GCHQ.
From documentation published by The Intercept, it was revealed that Britain’s intelligence agency GCHQ as a result of its Computer Network Exploitation (hacking) operations had gained presence on the Pakistan Internet Exchange prior to 2008. This gave GCHQ according to the document published “access to almost any user of the internet inside Pakistan” and the ability “to re-route selected traffic across international links towards GCHQ’s passive collection systems.”
This hacking operation, at a scale never previously seen before from the British intelligence agency, seriously undermines the right to privacy of all users of the internet in Pakistan. By targeting a key point in Pakistan’s communications infrastructure, GCHQ have put at risk the security and integrity of a significant portion of Pakistan’s communications infrastructure.
This is not the first time that Pakistan has been involved in the mass surveillance programmes from intelligence agencies of a “friendly” nation. Earlier this year it was reported that the NSA had determined that Al-Jazeera’s Islamabad bureau chief was a person of interest, via metadata collected from 55 million Pakistani mobile phone records, and entered in SKYNET, a computer programme designed to analyse metadata.
It is unclear whether the Pakistan government knew of these operations. The Pakistan government has an obligation to protect Pakistanis right to privacy and this level of intrusion onto critical national infrastructure undermines that obligation. It is of paramount importance that the government does all it can to account for this intrusion and to take meaningful steps to ensure the right to privacy in Pakistan and prevent it from being brazenly interfered with by foreign intelligence agencies.
