Little Snitch users are the kind of people who can and would expose CIA beacon signals. It's not so much that LS users are juicy targets, but rather that they are substantial exposure risks.

You might say, well, just piggy-back the signal on something else. Indeed, that is better. But that solution is far more complicated because you have to control (cooperatively, or coercively) a legitimate end-point.

Ergo, I don't think it's clownish at all for the CIA to target LS, it addresses a real threat (to them).
