> Adobe had him arrested on the stage as he gave his talk.

I was there!

The FBI arrested him in a hallway, 1 day after his talk. Dmitry at first thought it was a joke put on by a Defcon prankster.

During his talk, the panel moderator asked Dmitry to pause for a minute... and said "Would you mind saying 'Can you tell me where are the nuclear vessels in Alameda'?" Dmitry was confused by this request and said, in his Russian accent, "I do not know where the nuclear wessels are in Alameda?" The mostly American Trek-familiar audience had a good laugh, and Dmitry continued with his talk.

Sounds kinda mean spirited to mock of the accent of someone who is presenting in their second language.

A lot of the amateur security scene is pretty mean-spirited, unfortunately for anyone trying to get into it.

I believe it isn't about mocking but making the point about US / Russia and nuclear weapons

It's a Star Trek quote:

I'm confused by his request as well, I can't understand why he asked it. Any context?

A scene in Star Trek IV.

I think it is a Star Trek reference.
