Yet, no one seems concerned that some of our most advanced conventional weapons technology is for sale. The irony is that conventional weapons are much more likely to be used against the U.S. and its allies than nuclear weapons. Countries receiving U.S. weapons are forbidden to resell the arms they buy, but the U.S. only does a meager job of tracking the end use of its conventional weapons exports. Moreover, it is much easier to track tanks, planes, and ships than it is computer disks contain source codes. The information source codes provide could be transferred to our enemies or corporate competitors, and the U.S. would never find out until too late.
Source codes are the foundation of U.S. military technology superiority.
For the U.S. that means August, when Congress is out of session. The Administration commonly announces controversial decisions the Friday Congress breaks for the August recess.
