They have to cut off your sup feed. And probably have to hack supfilesrv to special-case export-restricted directories in the long run (wasted manpower) or worse yet cut off all non-US domains from sup.freebsd.org -- otherwise they are not excercising due diligence and are subject to seizure/lien/forfeiture/criminal action. And this happens, here in Amerika, quite often. It would not be at all unheard of for FBI troopers with semiauto shotguns to ram in Jordan's front door with a skiploader, and perhaps kill a few of his children by mistake -- although that sort of thing is usually reserved for drug busts at the wrong address or people with unpopular religious views, such as alienated ex-scientologists or seventh-day adventist splinter groups.
