This is how you end up with police making up an "anonymous tip" which allows them to gain a warrant and dig through the personal possessions of anyone they don't like.

The problem isn't solve with anonymity, but by actually protecting the whistle blowers.

Then it still doesn't matter. If an identified source gives information that isn't verifiable, it's still not actionable.
