@IEEESP isn't over until it's over; close out the conference by coming to my talk on police-auctioned cellphones during the final talk session!
I can't make it to @IEEESSP but I can do you one better: Richard Roberts @stack__trace will be there and he has a killer talk prepared, so go chat with him about police-auctioned phones and all things about media's influence on security mindsets!
