Tim Moore asks a lot of definitional questions about the Munitions Act. He should read the entire law--the terms are defined in it and RSA's interpretation is consistent with them, as I read it. By the way, the Japanese modelmakers would have violated the export laws if the dimensions of the F-15 were not published here by the Air Force. More likely they took a photograph of the plane with a man next to it from Aviation Week, and scaled it. In any case, the goverment may choose not to prosecute model makers but that's no assurance they won't prosecute crypto issues, particularly given their concern about those issues and the much greater damage secure cryptography can do to intelligence collection, compared to the damage from airplane models.
