- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+96And in that same time frame 300 illegal immigrants walked across an unsecured border in Texas...
- Etchii, on 10/10/2007, -2/+47Just take a trip to mexico and walk into Texas. Seems to work for millions of other people who need to get in.
- spaceb0y, on 10/10/2007, -5/+46That's right... PROVOKE him...
- OneManArmy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+35direct link to his blog entry http://addxorrol.blogspot.com/2007/07/ive-been-denied-entry-to-us-essentially.html
- gfnw, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29Sounds like you don't even know what a hacker is.
- bjtitus, on 10/10/2007, -8/+35Bush probably just saw the new Die Hard and realized that "These dangerous computer hackers could destroy me and my wonderful legacy as President!"
- Bajeda, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22So he can't advise companies on how to better protect your personal information?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Where does it say he was immigrating? What's with all of the foreigner bashing? Jesus. The guy's a God-damned teacher.
- LordByr0n, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Im in your countryz... but you FOUND me.
- localzuk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18You really don't know the difference between a professional security consultant and engineer and a script kiddie? Wow, so those people at Cisco must be script kiddies too, as well as those people who work for the DoD doing the same thing, how about the people who work at your ISP preventing people hacking your computer? Obviously they are all script kiddies.
- jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Actually it's probably not a real great idea to piss him off....
- zoltanx, on 10/10/2007, -5/+16He would have been teaching and helping US national security with new hacking issues...their loss
- cryptomystic, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13yup, it's called being smart.
- dgallo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Read his blog entry. Immigration workers were nearly following the rules set out for them. It had nothing to do with the fact that he was a hacker. The real problem was that he was able to get in all the other times yet they were technically in violation of the visa waiver.
- Phearce, on 10/10/2007, -8/+16"Half-wit disillusioned hick" is uncalled for: they're just doing their job trying to keep food on the table.
The real problem is the isolationist/imperialistic stance the current administration has adopted and the absurd rules it is generating. It's completely insane. Much of America realizes this, but short of revolution there's painfully little we call do to reel it in.
Please refrain from visiting until we can sort this mess out. In the meantime, you can enjoy whatever Utopian glass-house it is that you live in. Just remember not to throw too many rocks. - TheOther1, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12Any opportunity, huh?
- kday, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Strange... last time I drove up to Canada, the dude asked where we were coming from, and where we were going, and let us in. He didnt look up any information, and didn't even check the passports.
I think you are making up stories. - sinnuendo, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10Even people that have the correct visa and other paperwork are being turned around for no apparent reason. This happened to a family member of mine who lives in Brazil about 3 weeks ago: he got turned around for allegedly "coming back and forth too many times", even though his tourist visa was perfectly valid every single time he entered in the past. It basically means that a visa to enter this country isn't worth the money or the ink it's printed with, you might as well wipe your ass with it. Your fate lies in the hands of the idiot you get in the immigration counter upon arrival. This country's foreign policies have always been pretty bad but they're taking an even weirder turn since the republicans have been in power.
- DivisibleByZero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Sure, on Digg you can blame Bush for anything. Blaming him for failing to educate intelligence agents though? We'd have to concoct some sort of "no agent left behind" act.
- cyberdork, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Hey Jammer, I think your mom/cousin just called, the squirrels are ready for dinner.
- nosecohn, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Ah yes, ladies and gentlemen... your tax dollars at work.
Here's a guy who poses practically zero risk of staying in the US or stealing work from an American. He's got his own company and career in Germany, and has demonstrated his desire to return there on each of his previous seven trips. He spends thousands of dollars to take an international flight into the US so he can perform two days of training, and the immigration service interviews him for over 4 hours before deciding to send him back and not allow him to return.
Meanwhile, thousands of illegal immigrants pour across our borders on foot each year with the specific determination TO take jobs from Americans and NEVER to go back to their home countries, and we don't have the manpower to deal with them. Ridiculous. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9Well he must be another terrorist, oh and a witch! Burn him Burn him!!!
- sinnuendo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I am sorry to inform you that I did not make this story up. I only turned this into a partisan issue because - coincidentally or not - this only became a problem for me and my family after W and 9/11. Nothing like that ever happened to me or anyone I know during the Clinton years. So yes, I believe it is a partisan issue, more specifically, a Republican issue.
- DivisibleByZero, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I dugg you down because I'm not surprised. Stuff like this always hits Digg later because people say "oh, I already saw it on /." and don't bother digging it.
Somebody should have put the word "BREAKING" in the title, or gotten Ron Paul's opinion on the subject.... - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6So if there is a major security breach can we blame the Bush Administration for undermining our nations intelligence services by denying them a qualified education?
- cyberdork, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Visa? He's a German Citizen. Germany is part of the visa waiver program, so he only had to fill in a form during the flight and show it to the INS guy.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Read the ***** blog. He's trained members of the DoD, DoE, and DHS. He's been to the states before, and it's been legit each time.
- DivisibleByZero, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9Black hat hackers can do a lot of damage. Of course they could do it from overseas for the most part as well.
But on a more important note, Die Hard 4 was terrible. - bIuebonics, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5am i the only one who understands the concept of a black hatter?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5You're cute.
- SuperCow1127, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Hey! "Live Free or Die Hard" was a well written movie with a strong plot and stunningly accurate technical details. Just because you've never reprogrammed your smart phone to use the "SatCom Network" doesn't the rest of us are n00bs like you.
- crweaks23, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I agree with you, but the parent post (bigBadOwl) was practically begging for a hostile response...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Maybe next time he will make sure he has the right visa.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9Yeah. The dumb-ass gets the wrong visa and suddenly it is "the exodus of intellectuals from society"
- dantoro, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4this story is misleading....
- surfing, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5They probably used the money to buy beer.
- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5...which doesn't allow you to work in the country. Hence the rejection.
- bIuebonics, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3well, not that i have any problem with what he does... but you do understand the concept of a *black hatter* right?
- Midnitte, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4July 29th, 2007 - German hacker denied entry into U.S. for Black Hat training.
July 30th, 2007 - 4,000 computers crashed due to hacker. - bIuebonics, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=define%3Ablack+hat&btnG=Search

thx for informing yourself ahead of time. - NerdyNinja, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5He turned me into a newt!
...I got better... - mousky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Ever heard of Officer discretion?
- mercurysquad, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Read this from someone who posted on the comments: http://www.vitalsecurity.org/2007/06/come-fly-with-me.html .. I couldn't stop laughing.
- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5I see you've already taken your turn.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Yeah, because enforcing immigration laws and requiring the proper visa are "absurd rules" generated by the current administration, except for the fact that these have been around for over 15 years.
Maybe you shouldn't be such a dumb-ass. - nils, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Yes because he violated visa law. I mean, come on - he has ONLY himself to blame. I am not a fan of American policies, but not everything the Americans do is malignant.
- Zotter, on 10/10/2007, -4/+6Yup, kinda like the time I tried to stay in Germany for more than a year on a tourist Visa. (Before the wall came down - before many of you were born)
They showed me the door to mein fatherland too.
Why is it so hard for geeks to understand that there do exist actual real world laws and you don't really have a choice but to follow them? Try to 'skirt' those laws, maybe because you feel they don't really apply to you cuz you're so uber 1337 or something and you too can have a less than stellar day. Granted - some of these laws just don't make rational sense to our logical world view - but that's also the same reason so many Geeks are still virgins. Just cuz it don't make sense doesn't mean it doesn't apply. (yea, women and immigration laws, who the hell designed that steaming pile?) - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+6Yeah, it is called getting the wrong visa. Happens occasionally.
- ridv34, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yeah, because it's so damn hard to get in legally. And this just proves it.
