(I don't understand why that is the case.) 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. - -- David E.
