Not to diminish Jim's claims about "ZERO legal exports of
TSCM equipment out of the United States in the past six
months," but the Federal Register document he refers to covers
only large, multi-million dollar transactions which must
be reported to Congress. The large dollar amount items
usually are for expensive weapons systems.

Smaller dollar amounts are excluded, and it is likely exports
of TSCM equipment would fall into this category along with
thousands of other less expensive items.

For example, I follow exports of encryption products and
crypto-systems. Over ten or so years these items, also
categorized as munitions, have not appeared in the Federal
Register as a report to Congress except when they are part
of expensive systems.

Another example, small arms are not usually reported to
Congress although they are used to kill and maim far more
people than expensive weapons systems. Law enforcement
and espionage equipment do not appear.

There are other substantial gaps in export controls of all countries
which are there to allow government-sponsored defense industries
to thrive by direct sales and through intermediaies, government,
commercial and private arms merchants -- white and black.
Arms and export control treaties condone this lucrative slaughter
and espionage market and provide whitewash for venality.

"Dual-use" is a favored and abused gap through which huge
amounts of officially-sanctioned contraband are openly and
secretly smuggled.

It should be no surprise that there is official-criminal cheating
in TSCM equipment, a small part of a large racketeer influenced
organized criminal enterprise.
