US Blocks Entry For German Black Hat Presenter

bushwhacker2000 alerts us to the dilemma of Thomas Dullien, a prominent security researcher who has been a fixture at the annual Black Hat security conference. Dullien was denied entry into the US on his way to this year's conference. Dullien, a German reverse-engineering expert known in hacker circles as "Halvar Flake," said he was blocked from entering the US on the technicality that he had (years ago) signed a contract with Black Hat as an individual, not as his company. Customs agents said he would need an H1-B visa to perform the contracted two days of training at Black Hat, and put him on the next plane back to Germany.

The only people in Guantanamo were shooting at Americans after teaching in terrorist training camps. There you go with your pretend version of reality again.

Cannucks have to go through the same shit

Cannucks [and yankees] should be able to work in opposite countries

And, from your earlier post:

the only EU country I know of that lets Cannucks work there [without a visa] is France

It's Canucks, damn it! One "n."

Turn in your maple syrup.

Actually since "Cannuck" isn't a real word you can spell it however you damn well please. And in fact, I've seen both. Granted canuck is the more popular way to spell it, the point is it doesn't matter.

And anyways, as a fellow canuck [just assuming] you should have apologized for me misspelling the word. That is, afterall, the Canadian way.
