The point the panelist was making was that TSA is given opportunities to listen and attend these types of events, but doesn't ever feel the need to.

Nobody acknowledged they were from the TSA. I'd still like to see the attendee list. If somebody can send it to me, I will try my best to "out" any TSA or DHS spies in the room.

Federal News Radio
Federal News Radio had a brief discussion in Friday morning's broadcast about the EPIC conference. The discussion was reasonably well balanced and when the host asked the co-host whether TSA attended she responded that TSA said that they had not received a formal invitation.
I suspect they had a plant at the conference but avoided a public appearance for fear of legitimizing the event.
FNR is a private radio station not a Government sponsored station (I think it's a subsidiary of WTOP in DC). It focuses on issues relevant to local Federal employees and often reveals unreported information on activities within the various agencies.

Hey folks,
The videos from the event are up now on the C-Span video site:
http://www.c-spanvideo.org/videoLibr....php?id=189169
All were outstanding, but I'd like to give a special shout-out about Bruce Schneier's keynote address, which I think should be required reading for all members of Congress and their staff on this issue:
