Seems to me that the US got very upset with the Finns when they had  
on their systems material that the US authorities felt was  
inappropriate for US people to access. I HEAR tell we strongly  
insisted it be "removed" from access else the networks connection  
would be terminated.

I wonder if for example, a Finn  sent a message to a Japanese which  
contained material deamed illegal by the US and that message passed  
via the US and was detected, could the Finn, if he came to the US on  
business, be arrested at the border.
