Just for the record, i've heard horror stories of groups of people
meeting up near the Pentagon (/mall) with lots of laptops and
computers. The local police apparently frown upon such behavior. For
what its' worth, the story I heard was with regards to a local hacking
group...but still.

Maybe we should avoid the Pentagon? :)
