... Don't know if you have read this before, but here it goes.

Yeah, it was pretty funny. If you read entries to the slogan contest, you will find a few of the entries refer to that story. :-)

(Contest was announced in this thread.)

Simple, but still very good :)

My favorite so far, by Tacitus, is so true:

What happens in Vegas... Gets posted all over the internet

Spot the fed.

Hello.

What, exactly, is a fed?
Is this someone who is being paid to go to the DefCon?
Or, is this anyone who is somehow connected with government?
If you remember the 'original' DefCon, AutoVon, and all of the other cold war relics, are you labeled a "fed"?
Remember, there are a LOT of people out there who are not "out to get you".
This does not mean whip out your stash of hash for the world to see, but lets not look under every rock every second.
I would be more worried about the press at this point.

Thread to help in spotting a fed

Not necessarily. If they seem like a fed, then aybe they are. You will have to see if they are what qualified as a fed.

Remember, there are a LOT of people out there who are not "out to get you".

Have you been to DefCon before?

[Cowthief]

Defcon IV and on.

Hello.

I have been to Defcon 4 and about half of the ones since.
Talk about someone who the feds want to watch.
I am a ham, active on HF, and speak Arabic.
I love to see what the hardware can do, and the means phreaking the local CO and MTSO.
I think SS7 is a really cool protocol.
I feel that The Phone Company security is a joke, and love to play pranks.
Do you know who I am at this point?
Hint, the radio I carried at the last one was a Kenwood TH F6 totally whored out for both transmit and listen, hotel security, housekeeping, the "goons GMRS" radios, whatever.
My thing was and is, communications.
Just think about it for a minute.

The feds want to keep an eye on me too. But thats mostly because I cant stop killing nurses. I mean, its not like they're going to strangle themselves? Everone needs a hobby.

Nope. Maybe someone else knows you. I kept to myself for many Years of DefCon.

The feds want to keep an eye on me too... ... everyone needs a hobby.

I'm not noteworthy or important enough for feds to keep an eye on me; they know I am clueless. Maybe I should look at a new hobby to get their attention.

Are you a legend in your own mind?

Sometimes I wish they could..

I guess he's special or something?
I wonder if he rides the short bus.
Do you have to be special to type like this?
Or can anyone do it?
At least you admit to being a whore or was the your radio?
Are you really a Cow Thief, cause that could be kinda hot....
Can I be on top?

Since when do you need to be noteworthy or important for the fedz to spend time on you?

I guess that is true with the airlines and the passenger lists as well as the IRS and the Federal Census.
