Another interresting assertion. If true, all the people who download their
copies of MIT PGP from off-shore are in violation. That prospect doesn't seem
to worry any of the scores of people who post to alt.security.pgp about their
adventures doing so. As with Rod's import assertion, yours is the first
assertion I've seen that there is any dependency on kind of previous export.
The only restriction on import I'm aware of is a requirement to license
transit importation. That is, munitions can't be trans-shipped through U.S.
territory without a license. The problem, of course, is not really the import
half of the transaction, it is the export half.
I'd appreciate it if you could recheck your verification and report back to
the list. It is important that we U.S. citizens not scare ourselves into
believing that our government is more repressive than it actually is.
