Thomas Dullien es un experto alemán en seguridad informática que se
dirigía a las conferencias Black Hat para especialistas, pero nunca
llegó a su destino: le detuvieron en el aeropuerto tras ver el material
que traía consigo para ofrecer un curso práctico.

(theinquirer.net) El hacker tiene el alias de "Halvar Flake", y al parecer el problema
fue que en su petición de visado informó de que iba a dar el curso como
si fuera ciudadano de los EEUU cuando en realidad lo daría como
representante de una empresa. De hecho, es CEO de Sabre Security.

Nueve horas de vuelo y cuatro horas y media de interrogatorio con
los agentes de aduanas acabaron con un resultado extraño: su vuelta a
casa tras denegársele el permiso para entrar en los EEUU.

Como afirman en ZDNet, Dullen ya llevaba 7 años asistiendo a estas
conferenicas, y ya se había convertido en uno de los conferenciantes
que realizar cursillos prácticos durante el evento.

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.

A little background: For the last 7
years, I have attended / presented at the 'Blackhat Briefings', a
security conference in the US. Prior to the conference itself, Blackhat
conducts a trainings session, and for the past 6 years, I have given
two days of trainings at these events. The largest part of the
attendees of the trainings are US-Government related folks, mostly
working on US National Security in some form. I have trained people
from the DoD, DoE, DHS and most other agencies that come to mind.

Each
time I came to the US, I told immigration that I was coming to the US
to present at a conference and hold a trainings class. I was never
stopped before.

This time, I had printed the materials for the
trainings class in Germany and put them into my suitcase. Upon arrival
in the US, I passed immigration, but was stopped in customs. My
suitcase was searched, and I was asked about the trainings materials.
After
answering that these are for the trainings I am conducting, an
immigration officer was called, and I was put in an interview room.
For
the next 4 1/2 hours I was interviewed about who exactly I am, why I am
coming to the US, what the nature of my contract with Blackhat is, and
why my trainings class is not performed by an American citizien. After
4 hours, it became clear that a decision had been reached that I was to
be denied entry to the US, on the ground that since I am a private
person conducting the trainings for Blackhat, I was essentially a
Blackhat employee and would require an H1B visa to perform two days of
trainings in the US.

Now, I am a full-time employee (and CEO) of
a German company (startup with 5 people, self-financed), and the only
reason why the agreement is between Blackhat and me instead of Blackhat
and my company is that I founded the company long after I had started
training for Blackhat and we never got around to changing it.

Had
there been an agreement between my company and Blackhat, then my entry
to the US would've been
"German-company-sends-guy-to-US-to-perform-services", and everything
would've been fine. The real problem is that the agreement was still
between me as a person
and Blackhat.

After the situation
became clear (around the 4th hour of being interviewed), I offered that
the agreement between Blackhat and my company could be set up more or
less instantaneously - as a CEO, I can sign an agreement on behalf of
my company, and Blackhat would've signed immediately, too.
This
would've spared each party of us a lot of hassle and paperwork. But
apparently, since I had just tried to enter as a 'normal citizen'
instead as an 'employee of a company', I could now not change my
application. They would have to put me on the next flight back to
Germany.

Ok, I thought, perhabs I will have to fly back to
Germany, set up the agreement, and immediately fly back to the states -
that would've still allowed me to hold the trainings and attend the
conference, at the cost of crossing the Atlantic three times instead of
once. But no such luck: Since I have been denied entry under the visa
waiver programme, I can now never use this programme again. Instead I
need to wait until the American consulate opens, and then apply for a
business visa. I have not been able to determine how long this might
take -- estimates from customs officials ranged from "4 days" to "more
than 6 weeks".

All this seems pretty crazy to me. From the point
that 2 days of trainings constitute work that requires an H1B visa, via
the issue that everything could've been avoided if I had been allowed
to set up the agreement with Blackhat immediately, to the fact that
setting up the agreement once I am back in Germany and flying in again
is not sufficient, all reeks of a bureacracy creating work for itself,
at the expense of (US-)taxpayer money.

I will now begin the Quixotic quest to get a business visa to the US. Sigh. This sucks.
