    Feds at DefCon.....DefCon says, politely "No thank you."

    No surprise here really given the last 3-4 months of revelations + the Aaron Schwartz stuff prior to that etc etc etc

    For first time ever, feds asked to sit out Defcon hacker conference | Ars Technica

    Since its founding in 1992, Defcon has been a venue where anarchists, geeks, and employees of three-letter federal agencies became unlikely comrades under a live-and-let-live credo that placed the love of computer tinkering above almost everything else. No more. As tensions mount over the broad and indiscriminate spying of Americans and foreigners by the National Security Agency, Defcon organizers are asking feds to sit out this year's hacker conference.
