we don't presently have any problems with traceability.  We have no
problems finding the person responsible for bomb threats or other issues
that warrant law enforcement requests.  We have a slight issues with open
proxies, but only because the abuser has crossed an organizational
boundery, and the organization that knows the previous hop or the
identity, won't reveal it without a subpoena.

This is a legal issue, not a technical issue.
