Did you know that #defcon operates a crisis hotline 24 hours a day during the conference, ready to respond to everything from medical emergencies to personal crises to sexual assault? The volunteer goons that staff it get months of training and practice role play, and basically give up their weekend to be ready to help our community stay safe and healthy.
This is noble, difficult, valuable, and largely invisible work, and deserves our appreciation.
Fascinating list Resorts World's got here for Las Vegas Defcon room inspections.
There's a few items on here that I'm scratching my head about but I'm not very sophisticated compared to my security specialist brethren... need to ask them. 😁
