We've[1] had a few back and forths with people who were there. It's hard to say what the impact will be on DEFCON but the thing that was clear to us was that it's safety that's important. To that end I've written to our venue and we'll be putting out a statement regarding exactly under what circumstances the hotel may enter your room, and what to do if you don't want to consent. This isn't an easy thing for events in the US to deal with, and while we're based in the UK we get a lot of US citizens attending. The rules are different here, hence the decision to find out the rules and put them up so everyone's clear. In that respect, I think Marc Rogers was right to make a comment as it's clear a ball was dropped somewhere, and it came under his bailiwick. I don't believe for a second that he should resign, especially when I'm certain he'll double down on making sure things are better next time. I was utterly horrified with Katie Moussouris' situation and absolutely will not stand for something like that happening in London. There'll be something up on the blog and mailing list once we hear back from the ILEC. [1] - https://44con.com/ https://44con.com/
