What's there to stop your average three-letter-agency from 
walking around mayor malls with a malicious phone that works 
as a node, but forwards any data it has passed on to the same 
secret quantum computer they use to read any other encrypted 
message on the internet?

I hope I'm joking about the quantum computer, but I doubt 
that a system that requires connecting to the devices of random 
strangers, expecially one that is desinged to work with short 
lived connections, is going to be any more "outside of prying 
eyes" than the current internet.
