I know you and St John (Shawn) are all knowing scuba oracles but your statements about ITAR aren't as accurate as you lead people to believe.. I took the time to go to our ITAR Attorney to get the ground true (which I recommend all retailors / manufactures do; don't use the previous posts). The abridged take away from the attorney is ITAR does NOT regulate none US technologies. ITAR applies to items developed / manufactured for military use. Items that are sold in a retail market don't fall under ITAR unless there was some military type training associated with the sale. There are military CCRs that are ITAR regulated and because of that, they are not sold in a retail market like all the ones we all dive. Using cerich's logic everyone selling their CCR on ebay would be violating ITAR. The CCRs in question surrounding the bashing of Peter and AH were taken not because of ITAR but based on the individual. Also another over looked fact is Peter is the one who called the Feds to make sure he was legit. I know you will try pick everything I said apart with all kinds of smoke screen stuff in response but everyone knows you are just butt hurt because AH dropped you because of your customer service issues. Everyone else, if you have questions go to a real ITAR resource (attorney) to get accurate info..
Cerich is any of the gear you represent or sell (pieces / parts) made in China?
St John (Shawn); court didn't go so well?? I guess this case is a bit weak with holes now that the facts are coming in.. For the judge to remove the injunction to do business is very telling; the money being taken back from you and placed in escrow is telling and your attorneys getting a bit of lashing is also telling.. Really, Acid Gambit (and others) all my SMU brethren digging into that one and the others. These are the same guys that work or own Triple Canopy!!
OK... obviously you didn't read the early post where I linked to the ITAR regs where re breathers were specifically addressed..whatever.
