"They set up an open wi-fi access point at the conference and labeled
it â??Open Guestâ??, and then just logged the traffic of about a hundred
high-ranking surveillance hawks who argue for more wiretapping, and
who connected through the activistsâ?? unencrypted access point. "
"...generally everybody present who would argue in public that
surveillance of other people than themselves is the best idea since
sliced bread."
...
"In closing, we are happy to report that we have found no traces
whatsoever of preparations of terrorism in our surveillance. However,
we do note that people need to get much better at using the net in a
secure manner."
