Note also that a well-written letter of the form

	I am afraid to travel to the U.S. and am I a person of type X
	whom the U.S. might like to have around...

(professor, college student, doctor, musician, rich tourist) might
help.  I believe the EFF is going to have a letter or two from
internationally renowned computer security experts who are now
reluctant to come to conferences in this country.

Don't falsely claim that you're afraid to come, if you're not.  But if
this incident has affected you, an account of how, and what you'll do
about it, could help.
