Actually, for the feds that isnâ??t an entirely dumb idea, if their honey traps canâ??t manage to pretend to be delegates. Being so obviously fake, thereâ??s a good chance that less paranoid delegates might assume sheâ??s just trying to steal hardware from people who arenâ??t likely to want to report the circumstances (or trying her luck for a soon-to-be rich start-up king), and feel confident enough in their precautions to take that risk for a quick lay. (Of course, as demonstrated by numerous hacks at Blackhats many people arenâ??t paranoid enough even when they should be alerted to the heightened risk.)
