I'm moved to repeat Matt Blaze's exercise of a couple of years ago, where he went through the rigamarole to get an Official Paper from Customs or State or whoever was in charge to take his laptop out of the country with crypto on it for his personal use overseas. His experiences finding the right person to talk to to get a form, then his inability to find a Customs official to look at it on the way back, were semi-hilarious. However, now that crypto exports in general have moved from ITAR to EAR and BXA is in charge of general crypto exports, I can't find out how to get the right form to take out a laptop with PGP (or anything else) on it. Can anybody give me a pointer to whoever thinks they're in charge of this stuff? Or have they given up on this phase? Thanks... -- Jim Gillogly 24 Winterfilth S.R. 1997, 18:38 12.19.4.10.12, 7 Eb 10 Yax, Fifth Lord of Night
