What ham at NSA came up with this stunt ?
The National Security Agency has a challenge for hackers who think they’re hot stuff: Prove it by working on the “hardest problems on Earth.”
Computer hacker skills are in great demand in the U.S. government to fight the cyberwars that pose a growing national security threat — and they are in short supply.
For that reason an alphabet soup of federal agencies — DOD, DHS, NASA, NSA — are descending on Las Vegas this week for Defcon, an annual hacker convention where the $150 entrance fee is cash only — no registration, no credit cards, no names taken. Attendance is expected to top 10,000.

It's a money maker, and why does this sound like a scam they read about online and decided to use ?
What are they going to use the money for ? To buy the hams who work there more tower sections to steal under the guise that they're "surplus" ?
Also, why not hire them out of college minus the un-prosecuted criminal history ?
