Probably coincidental that so many of these surveillance conferences are taking place as official-commercial-advocacy-institutional (gov-com-org-edu) surveillance funding has become more widely distributed in clear and in dark. "Honey trap" is unfair to these good-hearted initiatives which would likely deny, quasi-truthfully, that they are unwitting tools to siphon ideas, means and methods, names and biometrics -- and recruit talented rodents to feed security vultures. Talented rats could siphon in return and a share the entrailed muck despite NDAs and secrecy agreements. But will not happen once the ingested perqs are channeled into feed to shit to sewer to befouled landscape. Paranoia is big biz gov-com-org-edu contamination. ISS lays it on the table, spying and anti-spying are wonderfully enriching, spread suspicion. Others might ignore the polite invitations to herd into paranoia feeding pens. Starve the befoulers underwriting them. At 04:17 PM 12/14/2011 +0100, you wrote:
