RE: this whole thing -- I report, you decide ;-) All countries are getting a lot tougher about work visa requirements. Sadly, a DJ who shows up with a record box will run into trouble, but going through immigration with a laptop won't trigger any scrutiny at all!
And of course, if you get booked to play in another country, probably best to make the promoter figure out visa requirements for you up front. By the way, I just flew from Salt Lake, and got scanned with their fancy new X Ray Specs body scanner. They picked up a power bar wrapper in my pocket. Spooky.
