Needed: Bay Area "Cracker" for TV Show

July 11th, a San Francisco television reporter called me. He wants to
broadcast a story about "crackers". He'd like someone who can describe,
on-the-air, examples of what crackers can do. In particular, he'd like
someone who can provide a demonstration.
 
Do you want to be on Bay Area TV? If not, whom in the Bay Area do you
recommend? This could be a chance for you to publicize your favorite
security flaws in voice box systems, or whatever.
 
The reporter wants to run this story during the week of July 15th. If
interested, please contact me as soon as possible. The reporter uses
telephones, not e-mail, so I'll need your phone number. Thanks.
 
See you in the future,
Andre Bacard

Hey peachpit

The cartoon news broadcasts are part of the problem, not part of the 
solution.

I vote that San Francisco be given back to the Mexicans, until the 
current generation of nudnicks dies off. We'lll steal it back in 40 years, 
after there arises a generation hardened by life in the desert.

And apparently they'd like to charge you to *be* part of the problem. I offer the 
following (I'd like to file this under 'clueless', but you never know...)
