Wrong. If I send my grandma 1 LTCD for Christmas, the NSA will be sniffing all over it, just because "DARK" is part of the coin name. Doesn't matter what the purpose of the transfer is. All coins with "DARK" in the name are being monitored for all transactions. TOR doesn't hide from them.
The following links take are basic articles that vaguely touch on the subject. I won't post anything better because I don't want any of us to be directly connected to such information. Use these as a starting point to learn what's what. Dig deeper on your own initiative but do not post links for the 'good stuff' in this topic. They will be deleted.

Some other word to substitute instead of "Dark" would be wise, in my own opinion.
I disagree with this, you can have Dark as part of the name and you only bring about the wrong attention when you do things you shouldn't do. Has anyone scooped up DarkMatter? That would be an awesome name!
