Re: and, as such, the arrests are actually only likely to create more such activity, which is the exact opposite of what law enforcement should be seeking to do.
Another post where I wish there was more than 1 "insightful" button I could push...
His campsite could become the destination of choice for the gothic/morbid/weird crowd. Throw in a little crime-scene/educational stuff and you could totally get some government/college funded college-kid field trips too!
The guy's got the kind of publicity you simply cannot buy with money--and he's just pissing it away. Sad, really.
"But nowadays you can put a supercomputer on a single chip, so anytime you see more than one chip together in one place, you're looking at significant ware."
Yes, but...
The skills used by hackers of any hot color (mine is brown, for example) are largely the same. A "security expert" needs the same knowledge and skill of infiltration that an infiltrator would use against his facility.
It was a historical anachronism--a wonderful concept which died out along with pastoral agrarian societies, enlightened philosophical cultures, and pastel cheeses.
Some things were simply never meant to survive in the harsh, cruel world which we live in.
Sure, it's all just data--but some data has stringent requirements--like carrier pigeons, or virgins dressed in gold-gilded togas--there must be some logical, reasonable explanation whey the cellular networks are claiming the farcical nonsense it true. Right...?
If the politician is such a fuck-up that he needs Secret Service protection and to be shielded from the general public should such a person even be in government in any function at all?
Let's remember: the reason we have the right the bare arms is to KEEP THE POLITICIANS SCARED OF US so they'll think twice before screwing the public.
Yep, because I'd never name the picture I've taken of my puppies which I've ironically named "Lord of the Rings" and "The Two Towers" because shiznit like that never happens in real life...
It's like when somebody stashes bootleg records in a bus-station locker and gives the key to somebody else--the correct governmental response is to seize the bus company's assets nation-wide and shut down the bus company's entire business for YEARS while the case is investigated.

Re: Open Source the Design and Test Test Test
In short--the cryptographer's dilemma: It is assured that YOU can design an encryption which you cannot break; but that in no way means it's any good.
The only way to know if it's good is to open-source it--feedback from one's peers lays bare all the flaws in your design.
Without that feedback and perspective, you never quite know if you're submitting a shiny polished turd or a shiny flawless diamond.

When human error threatens the livelihood of tens of thousands of people--then it's a big deal.
See, it's not that hard to think logically about this stuff. Try it some time.
