I'm experiencing a little bit of meta-terror here. Now that we've created a real, for-profit anti-terror industry, what will that industry do if people start feeling more secure and less in need of counter-terror measures?

[insert cynical but horrifyingly plausible scenario here]

Ummm....sometimes the "real" benefit of a conference is the all-expenses vacation that is inseparable from the package.

It's just not as much fun somehow to substitute this "virtual conference" so that someone can sit at a desk with a Subway sandwich and giant Diet Coke combo clicking on 3D renderings like a maniac.
