- bellyfullofbac 5y agoAre those regulations for everyone's eyes? If I were an enemy, it would be interesting to learn that "Do not give specifications of equipment XYZ to the $ENEMY.". Then I'd know the existance of equipment XYZ, and I can probably tell my agents on the ground to snoop around for it/try to source it from the supplier/hack their network to get its specs.
- wearywanderer 5y agoITAR obviously isn't focused on export to "enemies". If I export sensitive missile technology from America to New Zealand, an ally of America, that will still run afoul of ITAR and for good reason. Consider the scenario where New Zealand has lackluster counter-intelligence and $ENEMY is able to freely infiltrate New Zealand companies. In exporting missile technology to New Zealand, I have put that missile technology in a position where it can be more easily stolen by $ENEMY, even though I never exported a thing to $ENEMY. Could those same $ENEMY agents infiltrate an American company instead? Maybe/probably, but the US Government would prefers that attack surface be kept smaller than larger, and under American jurisdiction when possible.
