Date: Mon, 2 Jan 1995 09:25:49 -0800 To: cypherpunks@toad.com From: nobody@rahul.net Complaints-To: Homer Wilson Smith <homer@rahul.net> Matt has a good story, and the lesson that he draws, that presently the average person can't follow the rules, seems valid. But I don't see the point of the proposals to replicate his experiment. Doesn't Matt's experience really show simply that not enough people try to follow the rules, so the agencies aren't set up yet to make it easy? Is it our goal to change this, to get Customs to streamline their operation so that everyone really does register their crypto equipment on travels overseas? It seems to me we are better off with the present informal system where you can actually use crypto overseas without worrying much. I could see a system where you routinely fill out and have your card stamped when you check your luggage to show that you are carrying crypto. Then you turn it in when you come back. This might not be too different from what you do now when you declare items you are taking out and bringing back to show they are free of customs duties. How does this advance the CP cause?
