- Where it was developed is not relevant to ITAR. If it performs encipherment,
- it's covered--doesn't matter if it's foreign, domestic, PD or commercial.
- This is the principle manner in which ITAR presents a trade barrier to U.S.
- vendors who are trying to compete in international markets.

- The Department of Commerce likes exports. The Department of State doesn't.
- That's the U.S. regulatory system for you.
