exodus dunkirk - like get moving when the moving is still good alcatel apparently motivated to buy lucent (along with the bell lab, approving depending) because needing bulk for defense against china's huawei and zte prediction, before all is said and done, alcatel itself will be well on the road to being road kill, either by competition or buyout - within 10 years - courtesy of taxation, fiat money printing, and asset speculation-induced sloth and laziness a guess :0)

This sounds much broader than it should be. There was usually an exemption for people from NATO countries, UK and Canada especially, and also some exemptions for Japan, Israel, Australia. "Sensitive Technologies" used to be crypto, nuclear, radar/sonar, missle guidance signals intelligence, aerial & satellite recon as the core. Then a few items in jet engines, rocket engines, heat shields, etc. with maybe some biological warfare or exotic semiconductor (GaAs, InP )items. I would expect some subject additions for explosive vapor detection, aircraft autopilots, data mining, and psychological profiling. Sounds like it will expand to nearly everything - is there classified pizza making technology yet ? Any sense if the people in Washington have become more stupid, or is everybody over reaching because they are scared ?
