On his blog Schneier comments that this meeting was kept small on purpose. I wanted to see who was present at this meeting so I looked up some of their information. Not hard to find, but here you go. I plan on emailing each of them and thanking them for consulting someone the tech industry considers a Security SME.

- rhizome 13y agoI hope the Senate follows suit.
- Wohlf 13y agoThank you for providing this info, I'll be doing the same. I'm glad to see my district representative was in attendance.

- logn 13y ago(If you use Facebook) I recommend following Rep. Amash as he explains every one of his votes in a status update. It's a great way to stay informed, and he actually approaches his decisions with sensible reasoning you'll enjoy (regardless of your political leanings).
- thret 13y agoI'm not American, but I follow Amash. Voluntary transparency in a politician is a wonderful thing.

- asperous 13y agoWow that's really amazing. I really like this approach because it's transparent and really feels like he's representing his Michiganites. So often when I email my reps about their decisions I get canned response that don't answer the question, but Justin really does explain it.
- bitops 13y agoNit: Michiganders.
- tvladeck 13y agoThanks so much for sharing that. I'm pretty liberal, but it was awesome to read his explanations. Concise and considered.
- ddp 13y agoI emailed all of them I could. Unfortunately, Sensenbrenner, Thompson, and Amash refuse to accept email from outside their districts.
- AceJohnny2 13y agoI had to look it up. SME: Subject Matter Expert
- greatsuccess 13y agoPersonally the fact that your spam links to the legislators wikipedia pages is top on HN shows that 1) you have nothing to say on the subject, 2) you are a spammer, and 3) that you are probably a complete idiot who could give a shit about the topic and 4) that HN is a complete fucking waste of time with people like you posting in the comments.
