Security Basics: Identifying passion for security?

[andy cuff <lists () securitywizardry com>]

Evening,
Showing my age I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find security geeks who 
are truly passionate about security.  There seems to be a recent trend in 
unpassionate people chasing either the money, an easy ride or something that 
isn't as dull as network or system administration. 
So how would you identify passion quickly, personally I like what cons have you 
been to? If they are passionate but poor they would reply none but I'd like 
to ....  What books have they bought,    what tools do they use    what sites 
do they visit      email them at night and see how long it takes them to reply

what else?
