Obliteration of latency information is exactly why anonymizing
remailers are preferred over the tor/privoxy approach that Dustin
mentioned.  The NSA method doesn't do much good if the latency can't
be measured in the first place.

Anonymizing remailers deliberately introduce random latency --
typically between 10 minutes and 3 hours -- between message receipt
and retransmission, and deliberately randomize the order in which
messages are sent, and use other techniques as well, all these things
precisely to thwart the tracing of a message through the remailer
cloud.
