- Tim Moore asks a lot of definitional questions about the Munitions
- Act. He should read the entire law--the terms are defined in it and
- RSA's interpretation is consistent with them, as I read it.
-
- By the way, the Japanese modelmakers would have violated the export
- laws if the dimensions of the F-15 were not published here by the Air
- Force. More likely they took a photograph of the plane with a man next
- to it from Aviation Week, and scaled it.
-
- In any case, the goverment may choose not to prosecute model makers
- but that's no assurance they won't prosecute crypto issues,
- particularly given their concern about those issues and the much
- greater damage secure cryptography can do to intelligence collection,
- compared to the damage from airplane models.
