If you run an exit node, and grab all cleartext traffic for a long
time, you'll get a lot of interesting stuff. (For the record: I would
never do anything like this). I would very much assume that entire
exit node traffic is getting intercepted, multiple times, at
multiple locations, by several agencies.

IIRC, the circuits are random, and have 3 hops, currently.
