Not first-hand, but yes. More recently some folks with Middle-Eastern  
personas had some difficulty right after Sept. 11, 2001, but that  
seems to have lessened.

See some of the files, with first-hand accounts, in the SCA-STORIES  
section of the Florilegium such as:

SCA-stories1-msg  (95K)  4/27/94    SCA stories related before 5/1/94.
SCA-hist1-msg     (86K)  5/15/92    Msgs on the history of the SCA  
until 5/92.
