The small-scale comments are that CodeCon was a conference, not a party;
furthermore, it was a conference *about privacy and anonymity*, and there's
some profound irony in having to show government ID in order to attend an
anonymity conference. Inside, programmers were talking about virtual circuits,
encrypted links, and store-and-forward protocols; some of the programmers were
using pseudonyms. Outside, people were being carded.
