If this is true then why does the hotels list of what to search for include USB drives, breadboards and wifi routers, not guns?


The guns are on a separate list for an existing protocol. This is just an extention, probably temporary and only applied to DEFCON guests. The point is that the prior attack has chance how the industry views room privacy vs guest safety (liability) for any type illegal activity (even if there's no indication the tools are being used illegally).


And defcon dates? That shooting wasn’t during defcon, if I recall correctly..
