Shameful.

Via Halvar's blog:

I've been denied entry to the US essentially for carrying my trainings
material. Wow.

It appears I can't attend Blackhat this year. I was denied entry to the US
for carrying trainings materials for the Blackhat trainings, and intending
to hold these trainings as a private citizen instead of as a company.

After a 9-hour flight and a 4 1/2 hour interview I was put onto the next
9-hour flight back to Germany. Future trips to the US will be significantly
more complicated as I can no longer go to the US on the visa waiver
program.
