Come on, you can't be serious! Suppose your terrorist isn't an external
terrorist but some wack job from Marin who happens to be a citizen already?
Besides, I think Metro PCS and Go phone are more terrorist friendly, not
encryption. Terrorism is all about pay as you go anonymous cell phone plans
and home made explosives, not strong cryptography. Besides, all terrorists
would be honest and check yes just like all cops are honest and never check
no on the "have you used drugs" question when they actually smoked a fatty
in high school!

This is really "Internet 0.9" knowledge.
Gert,
You're ignoring the possibility that people change over time. What if a
person was a regular joe soap on the day that they filled out this web
form, but had become a terrorist within a short period of time? How would
your single form proposal cope with this, pray tell? Filling in the
terrorism / nuclear arms shipment / bioweapons form each time is designed
precisely to deal with smart alecs who think that they can get around arms
embargoes like this.
