The problem is that you're looking for a needle in the portion of a haystack that happens to have been recorded; finding none, you declare the haystack needle free.

In my recollection, there is a semi-regular IETF participant who travels with a MacBook that has a Tibetan flag sticker prominently visible on the lid. Hopefully, someone with the political awareness to make that kind of statement also has the political awareness to recognize that bringing a laptop so decorated into the PRC is likely to cause an incident.

On the other hand, someone with the value system to make that kind of statement may welcome such an incident. The clause under discussion runs headlong into this kind of problem and amplifies it by potentially shutting down the entire event.

And that's just the needle in this haystack that I can remember, unaided, without the assistance of transcripts or surveillance of any kind. You're comfortable that it's the only needle?

You have lot of faith.
