Noted - and I edited my post -- I guess I was wrongly under the impression you did netsec and your company did based on the comments of yours I have read... so, I apologize for that.
I do stand by the general premise of my comment, though, which is why I did not delete it entirely, which is: Any acquiescence to even the small steps toward actual tyranny is unacceptable. In the case of the USG and NSA, if the NETSEC community doesn't have the balls to stand up to them - then the future is lost.
People need to be able to say "NO". Just because the NSA isn't gassing people, doesn't mean what they are doing is right/acceptable.
\ I wanted to say "Just because the NSA isn't outright killing people..." -- however, we all know they ARE outright killing people via drone attacks and other nefarious methods, so that statement would not actually be accurate.
I didn't understand the exchange with all the deleted messages. Nor did I care to.
So instead of a specific person's name I deliberately put the word 'hug' inside the [[hug brackets]] so that anyone who knew deep down that they deserved one would receive it.
