Sure.  And if you could travel back in time, you could export.

If you did something at time t0 that was legal, and the law was changed at t1
to make it illegal, then you're okay.  At t1, you cannot make a law that says
"as of 3 days ago, this is illegal."

More than impossible, really, against the US constitution.

Then again I ask, what *would* it take?  Who *would* you folks listen to?
