When the IOP conceived of the selection process some 30 years ago, the institute hoped that such a system would establish a spirit that would perpetually replenish the SAC's leadership with charismatic and visionary students. Who better to identify the undergraduates best fit to take the reins of an organization than those who had braved the demands of the positions themselves?

Picture this scene from the near future: organized crime gets hold of encryption technology so powerful even IRS supercomputers can't crack it. An underground electronic economy emerges, invisible to U.S. tax code. The Federal Government, unable to replenish its coffers, let alone fund a standing army, shrinks until it wields about as much power as a local zoning board.
