ok i read up on blackcode that mitnick is to realese a book for sysadmins and ppl to do do with computer security, and i know that his probation ends in january

##Terms of Mitnick’s three years of probation — which ends in January — require that he keep his hands off all computers, software, modems, cell phones and any devices that would give him access to the Internet. His travel and employment are also restricted##

And he has said he has grew out of hacking

##Since his release from prison, Mitnick has made a living by using his ill-gotten skills as the basis for magazine articles, speaking engagements and a recent AM radio talk show in Los Angeles.
Mitnick swears that he’ll never hack again — but not because prison taught him anything.
“Prison had nothing to do with my rehabilitation,” Mitnick said. “I grew out of my hacking. Now I’m 38. There are no 38-year-old hackers out there.”##

What i was wondering is if mitnick could be encouraged to become an honoury AO member would this encourage some skiddiots(to learn not to do it) and general Pc users to come to AO? to encourage good computer security, as sites like hackers.com encourage blackhat behavor)

I know many of the AO users dont like mitnick, and others because of his so called lack of coding ability, what would u think? would this publicity stunt work to bring the masses to AO to learn, and improve the internet as a whole.
