Tor in its' current state is of limited use due to too many nodes being taken over. It's the best run honeypot of the bunch. Best used when in foreign countries where internet to begin with is in its' early years and countermeasures aren't about. In the US, it's better to blend in outright on your more public platforms, to make it harder to be picked out of the crowd as it were. TOR is meant to serve as an auxilary protection for those going stealth, but is overly distinctive in current times(Due to lack of usage at large).

Even if you connect to a node owned by the FBI, they still cannot know your identity. The only way for you to be infected is if you have SCRIPTS turned on, like javascript. There is no way of someone know your identity if you simply browse and post online unless you use a unique way of typing (some pedo who owned a large pedo site was only found due to typing "hiyas" in each announcement and some posts, they then searched for this usage of the unique word and found him on a facebook page advertising his pickup truck).
The only way anyone has found a TOR users identity is via a vulnerability in a script or if the user downloaded a compromised file. Make sure the site has HTTPS/TLS.

TOR !=Anonymity
compromised directory nodes and traffic analysis can give away the location of users not taking additional precautions.

Text analysis will all kill because we all write English.
Also: Panopticlick. Use what everybody uses.

Technically, they could deduce it if your were already a suspect in a crime not to mention that you could give away your identity if you don't take the proper safety precautions already outlined in OP's excellent presentation.
