Umm, so are you violating ITAR if you *use* these GPS-guided missiles
No you aren't. A little known provision in the ITAR excempts exports by missile. Seriously.
Well, not quite -- it exempts exports by space launch, but I think thats intended for things like satelite launchings and not for things like missile attacks against other countries...
And I quote: # (6) A launch vehicle or payload shall not, by reason of the launching of # such vehicle, be considered an export for purposes of this subchapter. # However, for certain limited purposes (see @ 126.1 of this subchapter), # the controls of this subchapter may apply to any sale, transfer or # proposal to sell or transfer defense articles or defense services. - Ian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMlWELkZRiTErSPb1AQHn6QQAiylUndaqWbsVTScmyzn8dQlWS1vOx8tK mBZlPlz0pvMY8jEi0pxT8PHsF2RI7vCi5yE4Z1PHAPDOUesrQiSZERzAlzRkxXgf t2qn1ZSrlsgIEN50ttDoEu2geF74nakKeb4LtsTAmA7+dfceVZlu9v5sWfcoeAX/ utB5JYLMzz4= =fbOv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
