I am under the impression that I would not like Mitnik personally, but I have never personaly met him... Would I turn him in? Well, put it this way: I would not harbor him but neither would I work very hard to figure out where he is or whether a particular "nobody" on this list be him. I see two values in him being on the lam: 1) His activities point out the need for more secure computer systems--the fact that he mostly relies on "Social Engineering" is lost on most people. 2) He is a romantic outlaw who is not a pedophile, nuclear terrorist, or murderer--his existance distracts from those totems. (Whether he actually *fits* this romantic image is beside the point, I am talking images here.) Mr. Mitnik (if you are listening): keep your sense of humor, try to be "mostly harmless", don't get caught molesting small boys--or anyone else, try to confine your public exploits to "honorable pranks"--things the man on the street will admire and not recoil from.
