IANAL, but if they have the intent to transfer cryptographic software, and can 'reasonably' (wonderful precision there) be expected to know that there is the potential for portions of the transfer to be routed through US systems, then I'm guessing that it could be construed that they had the intent to commit a crime. -- #include <disclaimer.h> /* Sten Drescher */ To get my PGP public key, send me email with your public key and Subject: PGP key exchange Key fingerprint = 90 5F 1D FD A6 7C 84 5E A9 D3 90 16 B2 44 C4 F3
