I'd like to see US Customs stop an international 'shipment' of 
software from comp.binaries.mac.

Just goes to show what a farcical situation it is. Anybody in the world 
can mail me the DES algorithm or I can go to my local library and buy a 
book on how to implement it.

But its illegal to export the US version of SUM (not picking on Symantec - 
just an example) to me here in the UK. Who exactly is being protected here.
