We were never able to get any answers as to why I was denied - in spite of some real efforts in finding out. It will remain an unanswered mystery.

I will make a renewed attempt to travel to the US at a later time. Hopefully it was just some mess-up, a human error or whatever.

So basically, US DHS is as intelligent and technically competent as the woman who thought you hacked her instagram?

My guess is that it's similar to the reason curl (and wget) sometimes get identified as malware by virus checkers.

Someone in US Immigration Googled 'curl' with your name and found a bunch of malware hits.

Certainly curl is used by lots of malware, and many a hacker probably use curl in their software.

I guess it's possible he was flagged by someone reviewing malware. Would malware creators give any credits?

I got naturalized in US a few years back. Yes, big mess, great potential for random mishaps and general ignorance.

Fingers crossed on your future trip.
