I've never been to one of the US based conferences (mostly CCC). Has the attitude towards the NSA changed a lot in recent years? A while back it was more or less friendly banter and the meet the FED panel was fairly relaxed (from watching Defcon(?) videos). I remember they gave away mugs and joked about them being bugged (which to me felt like they probably were somehow :P).

In 2012 General Keith Alexander gave a keynote at DEF CON; basically a recruiting speech asking for white-hats to share with the government. Then, after Snowden, In 2013 Dark Tangent (DEF CON founder) asked feds to take a break. I believe he did last year as well.
