Sorry, I don't see how that's relevant. Iran doesn't position itself as a global tech center.

I fail to see how the parent story is relevant to tech at all.

A person with a federal warrant was arrested entering the USA. Why is this hacker news?

If you want to discuss "what might happen" when entering a country, and the entry laws of those countries, I'm game. But again, I don't see how it is tech related.

The part that you're missing is that HN is not just for tech news, and never has been.
