Perhaps the "hacker" connotation has finally started to move out of the "criminal" sector and more into a "grok" type of connotation.
I refer to myself as a hacker, but have never done anything (terribly) unethical, hold degrees in math, cosc, and criminal justice, have a sec clearance, and am a vulnerability researcher. I take pride in being a "hacker", and take pride in the HHS program as it completely encompasses the same ideologies that I posess w/regards to hacking and ethics.
If the SS has to hire people that hack their email, than they obviously need to improve their recruitment skills. There are plenty of people out there that have these same abilities as well that are "moral" enough to pass a security clearance. Maybe a trip out to some computer science departments across the nation could bring in some new recruits. But maybe im taking crazy pills.

Anyone out there use Tripwire? GNU version or full version. Pretty awesome program, but the real version can get a bit pricey. AFICK possibly?
