Well, Raph Levien applied for an export permit for the RSA-in-4-lines-of-PERL shirt several years ago, and the export thugs stalled on it and never responded positively or negatively, in spite of their publicly stated policies that they "will" respond in some small number of days. ...

I wonder if it's possible/practical to do a FOIA request on Raph's old permit request and why it didn't merit action. As I recall, he even sent them a couple of the shirts. Then the export thugs could never- respond to the FOIA request, I guess. Someday, the news media might even notice that it's an interesting (and humorous) story.
