  1. must be a US citizen? by rneches · · Score: 1, Redundant
    Does anyone know why one must be a US citizen to see this talk? The site doesn't explain, it just points out that you need to bring credentials, such as a driver's license, passport, or green card to prove citizenship. This struck me as odd - is it a funding thing, or is there "discussion of non-exportable cryptosystems", or other such nonsense?

    Oh well. Sorry to those not from the US who might want to see this talk.
