OK, so instead of showing up identified as who they are, they'll show up incognito as random individuals. An exercise in futility With the exception of speakers, Feds tend to show up at Defcon incognito. That's the fun of Spot the Fed: https://www.defcon.org/htmUdefcon-13/dc13-spotthefed.html This announcement is a political statement and a clever PR tactic, not an exercise in futility. You can buy Defcon tickets with cash at the door, as the organizers well know, but this lets the Feds know they're not invited this year. Of course they can still sneak in, and I imagine Spot the Fed will have some extra-good prizes. -Declan (at just about every Defcon since 1997) EFTA00873580 Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive1247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/ms/247/125455-bnec4b3 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=125455&id_secret=125455- 1753ffc2 Unsubscribe Now: https://www.listbox.corn/unsubscribe/?member id=125455&id_secret=125455- 1e5c6695&post_id=20130711041319:BC9A004C-EA01-11E2-B8FC-DA1D4B27C6B3 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com EFTA00873581
