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.
