A DEF CON speaker was detained at the US border and asked about his involvement with the Wikileaks.org whistle-blowing website. They returned his laptop, but three of his cell phones were confiscated, and will probably never be seen again.

After mentioning this during his presentation (which was about onion routing), he was greeted by FBI agents who hoped to probe him. One of the spooks was quoted as saying "sometimes it's nice to have a conversation to flesh things out."
