    stopped

    Curious how they got around normal ITAR restrictions, or if they just didn’t give a fuck before.

      I’m willing to bet it’s option B. Bet someone in management decided it would be best to cheap the fuck out now and then beg forgiveness later, and sell it as increasing security, than ask permission from the beginning.
