If she can somehow become the poster girl for geeky women and bring more of those into our line of work to lighten up the workplace, that'll be awesome. Now that's progress my friends.

The plan is to give everyone a job in the government; then we all have full employment with benefits. The name of this new economic system escapes me since it fell out of fashion about 20 years ago.

If she's hawt you do not have issues.
If she looks like Janet Reno you have issues.
If she looks like Janet Reno and dresses per your description, post pics because you are not alone.

I think it's less trolling, and just a reasonable expectation taking into account past history (from the past 3 weeks) that she will either a) have a Tax issue or b) have lobbying (or lobby-like) ties to the industry she will be regulating. As Cyber-Security Czar is unlikely to regulate an industry, that leaves us with a).
Or c) runs a botnet.
Just sayin'...
