Since the arrest of the author of T0Mkit, (albeit by the British), I am concerned about how this event will be treated by the feds.

Will there be fibbies running around with cameras and notepads?

How can we possibly write code to test/implement security, without looking over our shoulders?

  Could someone explain to me how the parent of this is offtopic? Just because you don't like what is said, does not mean it is offtopic.
  
  That being said, consider that a security conference/summit is an ideal place for blackhats to glean information, and for the fibbies to catch them at it.

Thank God for Open Source! I could never have gotten a backdoor in the NT kernel, but with Linux it's a walk in the park!
