By all accounts ex-hacker Kevin Mitnick created only a modest stir when he sauntered into the December meeting of the Los Angeles chapter of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA). He sat quietly, paid attention, and at the conclusion of the meeting joined with some of the other 60-odd attendees swapping business cards, chatting with fellow computer security workers and discussing his plans for his new consulting business, Defensive Thinking.

Admitting Mitnick (despite his past) to ISSA might have been a smart move, as he would probalby contribute to the association more that most of the people who are currently associated.
Moreover, he paid for his errors and I would judge ISSA move as quite discriminative.
But I am a quite "matter of convenience" person, so I leave you the task to judge this case...
