Agreed, and given that is more easy to aggregate bits of information
from different sources to put together the puzzle it makes more sense
for a nation-state to do so when they are pursuing information about
advanced technology.
Folks are concerned about the coming fall IETF meeting, without
drinking from the conspiracy theory fountain, I'm almost sure that
-unless somebody do something really stupid- nobody will have any
problems, the host country will be delighted to have so many
"technologists" with juicy information and experience under their roof
and "surveillance."
