FWIW the US is claiming that the researcher had confidential information from Los Alamos National Labs against the terms of his NDA. They claim the researcher admitted to taking the information and attempting to conceal it.

I honestly hope this is the explanation. If we're starting to deny entry to the country simply due to criticisms of domestic policy decisions, we're going down yet another dark path.

How is that a problem when the president is out there storing confidential docs in his golf course, and when they fire off the cybersecurity teams?

Or when private citizens are freely given the details of U.S. plans to respond militarily to China?

I was at the conference he was supposed to attend - the Lunar and Planetary Science conference. There were a lot of people showing Los Alamos data there.

That doesn't mean anything, at all. Just because "a lot of people [were] showing Los Alamos data" doesn't mean all Los Alamos data can be publicized.

Ex: a guy named Robert who led a very particular research effort in New Mexico
