    You have to meet her honestly. In a society which is slowly making its general population utterly stupid, through the stripping of funding from schools and the terrible ways most teachers are treated, finding someone who is kind, fun to be around, and amazingly brilliant is just too rare. Go to defcon when she speaks and then talk to her afterward if you don't your missing out.

  2. Elonka,should we be in constant fear of terrorism? by digitaldc · · Score: 3, Insightful

    For emotional satisfaction, it has been helping out with the war on terrorism, and educating government agents about steganography and what types of codes that Al Qaeda might (or might not) be using.

    I would like to ask her if she feels that the amount of fear that people feel today about terrorism is justified? Is Elonka fearful of terrorist cells in our midst? Does she think that we are due for another attack?
    It would be interesting to know what she has to say about the 'War on Terrorism.'
