Ever had to sweat through an interrogation or watch some poor sap suffer a similar fate? Have you ever wanted to turn the tables and put those cruel individuals responsible on the chopping block? Well, now you can! With representatives from NSA, NASA, FBI, IRS, DHS, and other fine Federal agencies, you will have an abundance of opportunities to attempt to humiliate, harass, threaten, or even bring them to tears. Go ahead hack away and take your best shot! Remember, what is said on this panel in Vegas, stays on this panel in Vegas...
Again this year we will have many federal agencies -
Information Assurance Panel: CERTS, first responder's organizations from agencies including DC3, DHS USCERT, NSA, OSD, and NDU
Law Enforcement Counterintelligence Panel: including DC3, FBI, IRS, NCIS, NASA, NWC3, US Postal IG
