On: Feds, We Need Some Time Apart

[welder]

Feds always attend in plain clothes so this effectively does nothing. I also wonder if a Fed only means investigative or law enforcement type Feds or also includes federally employed IT peoples.

iamtherockstar you are hellbanned. Your comment appears as dead. I tell you because you made an informative comment. Looks like it happened about a month ago.

I think I accidentally upvoted this comment when my phone's browser glitched. Meant to downvote.

I don't think the intention is to create a moat around the conference. Things have been getting quite cozy between these two [1]; I'm sure recent revelations don't play well with this conference's attendee base.

A moat "this year" until it's safe for them, PR-wise, to work at legitimizing the feds again.

Perhaps this is why this bothers me: the Feds don't need any help from Defcon. If anything, it's the other way around.

Maybe it should be renamed FedCon.
