     With the coming revisions to the export control laws, it is probably
time to lobby Congress for the removal of this stupid restriction.  IF
anyone follows this issue, please post, and let us know where and to whom

     Incidentally, you can import crypto gear into the US without any
restrictions.  Most non-superpowers get their crypto gear from 
Hagelin Crypto AG, Zug, Switzerland.
