I've talked to Mr. Hypponen about this podcast and asked if he would be interested in recording an interview with you Mr. Carlwood. Much to my own pleasure, despite him being quite a busy man he said that he would be happy to have an interview with you!
Mikko Hypponen specializes in internet security and hunts malevolent hackers. He works hard at European-based F-secure.com, which is a company that is hard at work running internet security for home and business alike and runs an excellent VPN as well as hosting specialized informative talks for both their users and for relevant conferences.
Mr. Hypponen has been a speaker at a few TED talks and speaks passionately and poignantly on the topics of the ongoing American surveillance issues as well as other internet and privacy concerns in the interest all citizens of the world alike.
Please message him to reach him and arrange a good time via his Twitter, @Mikko or Mikko Hypponen.

I hope very much that you, being such a wonderful and insightful host, can open some discussion from some of his vast and in-depth knowledge.
Thank-you for your time!

I like Mikko... he is funny too!
I would say he is a caliber smaller than actually speaking to Edward Snowden.
Yeah, I'm hoping that Mr. Carlwood goes after this because it's not so easy to book with him.
I'd love to get him on, especially now with these Vault7 leaks about CIA surveillance. I'm hitting him up now!
Bummer....maybe some listeners can persuade him?
