So, do you recall a few months back about Snowden? Sometimes I think the
only reason that didn't turn into a rather witch-hunt-y form of
"professionalization" was that Congress had other insanity on its mind.

And it's about the *last* thing we want to go along with, if it's taking
the form of "$AGENCY wants to control sysadmins solely to cover its own
ass". But to that extent, it's also a different battle --- except insofar
as it overlaps, and might pose a risk to serious attempts. It might also
suggest that whatever group goes about this should have at least some roots
planted outside the U.S.
