Who says the NSA never does anything for the commercial sector? Here are
technologies that you the taxpayer has funded that the NSA has released
for all to use. Examples include a compact fingerprint scanner, drive
controlled disk sanitation, IPSEC, and of course some crypto
applications.
Just think if they are giving out this stuff what other cool things must
be classified.

Defcon 99 was mentioned in X Files last night. It was short for Defense
