I'm not convinced. People are very good at cognitive dissonance. If you're passionate about tech, then there are some very interesting projects to work on in government. Rocket scientists want to build rockets. Roboticists want to build robots. Hackers want to hack. They've gotten good at what they do by subordinating other concerns to their driving interests. So, why would they be put off by something that doesn't seem to directly affect them or their loved-ones? EDIT> Regarding the furor over heavy-handed prosecution of tech-assisted offences: that only matter if you choose the wrong side. I.e. Work on this cool stuff, stay in line, and you'll never have a problem with the law. Not a hard sell.
