How to sneak into Shmoocon - by RBCP
1. Borrow a badge from a friend.
2. Walk past the Shmoocon checkpoint with this badge. Bring another friend along.
3. Once you're in, hand this badge to your friend and he can leave with it.
4. Repeat for the next guy that has a badge.
5. Presto, you don't have to buy a Shmoocon badge!
Assuming that they don't have Shmoocon people actually walking around and confronting people who aren't wearing badges, of course. I know they do that at Defcon sometimes. Also, a non-badge wearer could use a real Shmoocon lanyard around their neck without a badge while he's inside, to make it less obvious that he's not wearing a badge. Assuming lanyards are involved.
