Interesting that FBI agents at Defcon said they wanted to know if "human rights" were being "trampled". Is that a clumsy way of establishing rapport with the subject, or are there actually FBI agents who think like that?
- pradocchia 16y agoIs that a clumsy way of establishing rapport with the subject, or are there actually FBI agents who think like that? No no, they were getting to know their subject, building a profile, seeing how he responds. Did they deliver the question straight? Then see how he colors it. With sarcasm? See how he deals with antagonism. etc.
- quadhome 16y agoOne of the best parts of Defcon is the opportunity to party with feds all night long. You discover they're just like you.

- substack 16y agoCan any individual government agent in such a capacity ever really be "just like me"? I don't take orders from anyone. They do. In that respect, they are nothing like me at all. A large part of what makes tales of government harassment like this one so troubling is how similar, reasonable, and even pleasant the agents are. If they are just like us, then why is there so much injustice?
