Since we don't need a license, what records are we supposed to keep? | Today's Federal Register contains a notice from the Department of | State, Bureau of Political Military Affairs, announcing final rule of | an amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) | allowing U.S. persons to temporarily export cryptographic products for * personal use without the need for an export license. The product must | not be intended for copying, demonstration, marketing, sale, re-export, | or transfer of ownership or control. It must remain in the possession | of the exporting person, which includes being locked in a hotel room or | safe. While in transit, it must be with the person's accompanying | baggage. Exports to certain countries are prohibited -- currently | Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. The exporter * must maintain records of each temporary export for five years. See | Federal Register, Vol. 61, No. 33, Friday, February 16, 1996, Public | Notice 2294, pp. 6111-6113. -- "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." -Hume
