So your transactions can be identified with careful analysis of activity tracking which takes time and money. If the transactions are ignored by law enforcement agencies, then Bitcoin will be considered a safe haven for hackers and criminals to freely conduct their activities.

The challenge for the FBI will be whether it has have the extra resources and funding available to track down the criminals it so badly needs to find.
