Anyone know how far ITAR reaches? Is there a list of programs that are illegal to take from america anywhere else? My company does a LOT of buisness (80%) outside the US, and I wonder if they are maybe pissing off the NSA or somthing with some software they take with them. (a DES encrypter, and some other encryption stuff)
It's the other way around. Anything that does encryption that they _haven't_ explicitly given you permission to export, or that isn't subject to subtle and arguable interpretations of the law (or blatantly obvious interpretations of the First Amendment) is verboten. So buy your crypto stuff overseas, and import it, and write letters to your COngresscritters about how annoyed you are that you have to do this. Might as well send them a bill for the extra expenses you've had to incur; they won't pay it, of course, but it should amuse some of the Republicans.... # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, Freelance Information Architect, stewarts@ix.netcom.com
