This European Commission conference will be of interest to many here despite the fact that the basis for the conference, like the FP7 Security theme as a whole, seems to be entirely focused around how we get stronger connections between state and the security industry and persuade the public that this is all a good thing... the answer is perhaps to get as many critical voices there as possible. How they are deciding on speakers etc., I can't tell you...
