I really hope this event is picked up by the media. This is truly worrisome because it unnecessarily erodes US's ability to be at the forefront of technology research.<p>This is not about H1B visas. Not about the Muslim ban. Not about China.<p>This is about a famous scientist from a friendly country who has already traveled to the US countless times. Oh, and due to him, we can conduct secure electronic transactions on the Internet now.<p>IMO, somebody at the US State Department should be fired.
