A civilian has been approved to own a Class 1 laser. That means the option is on the table. Are you on some sort of No Fly list? Is your name bin Laden? Did you say Blackbriar over the telephone? Probably not a good idea to even try.

What are you debating exactly?
No one said there was a 100% failure rate here. All I said was that its really risky, and no one knows what is involved in the approval process - and that this included Rampart themselves. They are just as clueless as we are, except that they had a single instance where a request has gone through. ITAR is serious business to the US Government, and IMO, I'm not sure its as straightforward as just paying a (relatively) measly $300 for their most valued military technologies.
