It's a bit much yeah. I started putting together a motion sensing unit, and realized (after leisurely reading related international law) that I had modified a component (changed its operating frequency) in a way that I may have had to declare it or talk to somebody in advance if I traveled with it outside the U.S. and Canada. After dealing with stubborn, pedantic people in government, I don't even want to touch that unless I know there's good money in it. I think it would be very cool if there were some tax credits or grant programs to offset the cost of compliance, particularly ones that don't require you to have a personal lobbyist to avail yourself of them. My impression is that a lot of creative potential in arms and arms-adjacent (I actually agree with some of the ITAR's more dubious classifications to some extent, though I think there should be less onerous tiers of control for these things) industry is being squandered by unintended effects of the ITAR.
