> I'm always sad when I'm the only one opting for a patdown at the airport after Defcon. I made the decision that I was okay handing over personal information one time to get TSA Pre if it meant I could skip the naked scanners, not have to take off my shoes, avoid patdowns etc. Generally when I'm coming back from Defcon I have a whole lot of stuff with me that I'd really rather avoid having someone take a closer look at. I still strongly respect people that take a stronger stance than I.
