An even worse variant happened to me at Defcon. They put me in the wrong room. I was giving the talk that became "Inequality and Risk" and I noticed people kept getting up and leaving. After about 10 minutes, I stopped and asked what was going on, and someone said "Isn't this the talk on lockpicking?"

  It's interesting to read along and see what was cut for the version on the website.

I thought you were going to say that three FBI agents cuffed you in the middle of your talk and escorted you to a van.
