It’s not every day the FBI comes a-knocking. So it’s understandable that Ben Barreth was unnerved when a Homes for Hackers tenant from the startup TravelingNuker.com sent him a message that a special agent had stopped by: “Nothing to worry about though, he’s just reaching out. With great Internet speeds comes a potential for higher cyber-related crimes.” Barreth writes in a blog post that he met three agents at Cupini’s restaurant across from Google Fiber Space, then took them to several stops in the Kansas City Startup Village, including the Hacker House. In the post, Barreth notes several worries, including “A big map on the wall, right as you walk in, of all the nuclear power plants in the U.S.” It seems like the coast is clear, but stay tuned. — Source: Banterant
