Marcin,
If what you said was correct the security staff must've been explicitly
lying, which is, again, not cool. She said "we were told you received a CD
from the conference".

One of the psychological techniques used by the security agencies is to
explicitly ask for something not true and wait for denial. The truth
(whether there were CDs or not) is not really relevant to this question
- it's how you react. Probably you are suspicious if you answer 100%
questions
correctly and without any hesitation. Those interviews
shouldn't be
treated
like a school test - it's not about getting as
much correct answers as
possible.
For an example of a successful use of this technique, see Stanley
Kubrick's
movie
"Eyes Wide Shut", the scene during the party
at the manor (not recommended
for people sensitive about explicit scenes, usual disclaimers apply).
