Anyone else feel like Defcon has lost it's potency? I could be wrong, but i feel like the more popular it gets, etc. There are some great presentations, but there's certainly less great presentations.
Also, with more popularity comes... lawyers. From what i can remember there were five presentations that were canceled due to court ordered gag orders.
Not to mention if you are a black hat, the last place you'd want to be is hanging out in a crowd full of law enforcement officials.
