Nope.

Hint - if you send a packet *out* from the shell account, it's probably as a
result of another packet going *in* to the shell account.

Even the stupidest of cops can figure out that "wow - every time a packet
heads out from here to the Pentagon, a split second before, a similar packet
came in from some bozo on a cablemodem in Idaho.  Maybe the Idaho guys need
to pay this guy a visit"....

Yes, you can obfuscate it with setting cron jobs and tunnelling data via covert
channels and other neat tricks, but the basic point remains - if you connect
*to* the shell, you're no longer anonymous, and if you don't connect to the
shell, you can't use the shell....
