You're exactly right! His events are tied to a place. Perhaps DEFCON is a convention whose primary constituency is in North America in the same way that CCC is a convention whose primary constituency is in continental Europe.
> Yet locksmiths in the UK routinely carry them.
Because they're licensed for such. Random people are subject to arrest for doing the same thing. Which would mean that nearly everyone who visits the lockpick village would be subject to arrest and a goodly number of other attendees. We're talking about thousands of people, arrested for having funny-shaped little bits of metal.
What I'm saying is that you are possessed of the wonderful opportunity to come to a greater understanding of what DEFCON - and its community - are. It's perhaps possible that you may stand to benefit by perhaps seeking first to understand the thing you wish others to consider changes to.
