Good news, but lets not forget that winning the battle isn't winning the war.
The dropping of the case means that the legality of the ITAR restrictions goes untested. Had the case not been dropped it would have expired shortly under the statute of limitations.
The real issue here is the abuse of the investigative powers of the FBI in support of their own political agenda
Congradulations to Philip, but Phill(boy this is getting confussing) is right. By dropping the case, the goverment avoids a high visiblity case that could change the rules. What happened to Phillip Zimmermann is unexcusable, but others must continue in his footsteps in order to win a decicive victory.
