I sincerely would have wished IETFs from 61 and on were held outside the US as long as they run their fingerprinting policy. I feel really incensed, being treated like that. And I have no illusions about the fingerprints taken when I come to IETF61 not finding their way into the US fingerprint data bases which now, I believe, mostly hold fingerprints of criminals and people who have been arrested and booked.
