you'll notice that a lot of the talks and sentiment are of a "rebellious" nature. At the very least, security people are strong advocates of privacy.

It sound to me like the sentiment is not so much rebellious, as it is very ethical.

Sure, I just meant rebellious in the sense that the participants tend to rebel against what is seen as government fascism or privacy violations - not that they're evil anarchists.
