Re: [TSCM-L] {5921} Well Aint that a Bitch

REI is not the only player in this market.  Perhaps Audiotel and others can thank the US government for promoting their ability to build their markets without having to be too concerned about competition from us vendors.

God bless America.

Just a reminder, that some countries have a mandatory death penalty for
smuggled arms.

TSCM gear is by international treaty "Military Arms"

Hence, if you get caught with it in come countries and you did not
acquire it though proper means, it will be deemed "smuggled arms" and
you could legally be put to death.

So like I said, according the the published report in the Federal
Register, made by the U.S. State Department, there were ZERO legal
exports of TSCM gear.

Which means, that if you got TSCM gear from the United States, it was
not a legal transaction, and you could be at risk of death.
