The NSA also has an already existing and mature Information Assurance mission with experts publishing freely available cyber security guidance, configuration guides and software.
In my opinion the NSA already has the expertise and experience required. Not everyone working there is assigned to domestic espionage.
The problem with Panera wifi users is they have a habit of taking up an entire 4 person table for more than an hour in the middle of lunch rush and buying little more than a coffee. I often go to Panera with friends and can't find a table because all of the large tables are taken by greedy laptop users and the small tables they should be using are empty.
I don't think the problem McDonalds is having is new and I don't think recommending Panera is the solution.
If he wants to try to beat the system by changing his MAC. Maybe I'll bring a backpack with airpwn next time.

"The city's second highest revenue producing camera, for example, is located at the intersection of Greenville Avenue and Mockingbird Lane.

I agree this is amatuer. There are already professionally designed cases for running this sort of hardware. They're all 19 inches wide.
Looking at the monstrosity bolted onto the side of that case, it's not like they would have been sacrificing appearance to go with a server case.
A rack-mounted water cooling solution would have been interesting too.
I'm surprised the client didn't at least go with the "Reactor" submerged liquid cooled PC by "Hardcore Computer" mentioned on slashdot in the past.
Thanks for taking the time to explain. That's an interesting thing to know about Texas.
In regards to wikipedia and not keeping current with the most fashionable ad hominem attacks, I don't mind not representing the majority on slashdot. The general quality of the comments hasn't been increasing over the last 10 years. Most of the time I stick to the headlines and links.
Do all of your posts end with an attempted insult?
Holding the case in East Texas? Check.
So anyone suing over an alleged patent violation is automatically a "troll"?
Sat on the patent for at least five years? Check.
They were actively using and advancing the technology involved, I wouldn't call this "sitting on it".
Suing over a patent that is obvious enough for multiple entities to independently and simultaneously develop? Check.
I agree that most patents are bullshit for this reason. I don't know that this one is. It's easy to say after the fact, but the company doing the suing in the case is at least the first one I personally came across with the product described, making prior art a little harder to argue.
Testing the waters with the little guys first? Check.
I'll admit I don't know the legal history here, but going after the low hanging fruit first makes sense in every business I've seen. It also doesn't make the claim any less legitimate.
Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck. Or in this case patent troll.
How much was your check for astroturfing?
Silliness and name calling? I think I addressed this in my first post. I don't even know what the term astroturfing means and it doesn't sound important enough to look up. I hate all software patents. I hate patents in general, and copyright and trademarks. All I'm saying is that I see software companies in the news, suing each other every day, and this is the only time where the example I've seen appears to actually be the first person to try to sell the product suing other companies that are making money off of the same idea years later. I would save the term "patent troll" for the companies that do nothing but buy patents or buy old companies that come with intellectual property for the sole reason of suing other companies. Those type of companies contribute nothing to the field and hurt innovation without even trying to pretend that the patent system ever helped it.
Biology is the only science in which multiplication means the same thing as division.
