@lorenzofb thanks for sharing, I had this trigger on my phone a few times and wondered how it worked.

@lorenzofb

I look forward to seeing video from a plane as someone uses this to push things to people who actually remembered to not blindly accept airdrops, and the pilot is telling them to knock it off or we're going back to the gate.

@lorenzofb So, at the risk of being "that guy":
- Did DEF CON know what he was setting up?
- Either way: Did he potentially violate a CoC?
- If so: What will DEF CON do about it?
- If nothing: Prepare for a bunch of skids being assholes in the near future, citing this case as to why "they did nothing wrong" 🤔
