So the whores are welcome but not their pimp?

<<whores = Google, Microsoft, Yahoo...>>

They will go anyway. Hacking is their job. Defcon is their play time.

Pathetic, politically correct pretense.

My prediction.....

One day Snowden will do the keynote address at Defcon.

Serves the backstabbing wankers right as far as I'm concerned, no one wants to hang out with someone who will gossip and spy on you behind your back anyway, national security is just an excuse, over here in the UK we get the 'public interest' speech shoved down our throats.

Everybody wears Guy Fawke masks.

The game is ...

"Spot the Snowden"...

The problem with defcon is .. someone might actually have a gps coordinates on snowden!

uhmmm he's right here! ( target, identify, click, zoom, record, playback )

"He's on the east wing of the airport three doors down from bathroom #11 in a room labeled Janitor! "

I hope the attendees will personally remind any feds that show up that they ought to be ashamed of themselves if they were involved. These people should be ostracised.

if only feds ever listen to "advise" from hackers
