As described on Wikipedia...
During the 15th DEFCON hacker conference, Dateline producer Michelle Madigan failed to register as a reporter and used a hidden camera to covertly film attendees, apparently intending to catch hackers admitting to crimes. On four occasions, DEFCON staff asked her if she wanted to obtain press credentials, but she declined. On August 3, 2007, DEFCON founder Jeff Moss publicly outed Madigan during the "Spot the Reporter" contest, and Madigan ran from the room with several attendees trailing her, taking pictures and video. DEFCON says their own mole at Dateline alerted them to Madigan's plans.
I wonder how the producer felt while being asked questions while fleeing to her car. Maybe the same way other people feel when reporters shout questions at them.
