All funning aside, this was included in a topic of a
BoF at the recent ShmooCon held in DC. The speakers
contended that unless the community becomes
self-policing, there WOULD eventually be government
legislation to license information security
practitioners. Interesting theory. I like the idea
of shipping all unlicensed practitioners to Lincoln.
Could do wonders for that local economy. :-)
