MIT students gagged

Looks like this is the headline from Vegas this year. Short story: College kids figure out that an RFID authentication system sucks, plan to tell others all about it at a high-publicity security conference. Their home state asks rather insistently that they don't.

A gag order is a little more civilized than a surprise detention by a foreign government.

A little.

I guess Massachusetts would prefer this kind of information stay in the real computer crime underground, as opposed to DefCon's play-pretend underground. Shrug.
