Attendees of a cybersecurity conference had mixed reactions to a Las Vegas hotel-casino conducting daily room inspections as a response to their presence in town.

Several Def Con 32 participants staying at Resorts World casino-hotel said they were being treated as criminals because they chose to attend a hacking convention. Others said they understood the casino’s position, even if they disagreed with its effectiveness.

“(Security) had no idea what they were looking for,” said Korvin Szanto, of Portland, Ore. “They knocked and came in, and showed me a big, long list of stuff that they wanted to look for. It had things like random cables and a USB thumb drive.”
