The sad part is there is no incentive to reverse the process, once deemed 
sensitive/restricted it may stay that way forever. I'm sure many items that a 
End Use Certificate is required for are marked that way just in case. The EUC 
process is so clumsy and time consuming I could only imagine the de-restricting 
process would be. Like toxic waste my basement is full of 1950s to 1970s 
equipment that I must legally disposeĀ of as long as I'mĀ compos mentis which is 
in question just because I agreed to this contract.

Fortunately, the determination of what is ITAR is not left up to you to
see, but rather is determined by the DOD and the State Department... where
they use the most highly placed morons to scientifically assess the risk
and make the classifications.

They are from the government, and they are here to help you.

If you have ever been on the other side of an ITAR investigation, you
would rightly conclude that it isn't safe to do anything other than scrap
and destroy US surplus materials... which is precisely what they want you
to do.
