Don't put it past them.

These are exactly the same regulations that my favorite rocket company (XCOR Aerospace) has to enforce for any foreign student (intern) they hire. The implementation is a bit different (in aerospace, its more like a blanket prohibition on a wide range of activities, including even talking to specific people), but its the same underlying regulations.

At the Space Access conference in Phoenix recently, ITAR came up one of the top 3 things to do this year in aerospace policy. It's *killing* the industry. I dont think anyone there wants to transfer technology to the Chinese, but the way ITAR works, "everyone" is the enemy, which means a citizen of a NATO ally is just as "dangerous" as anyone else.

Reforming this is top priority.

could it be because it so utterly boggles the mind??

bad ideas one can refute - works of complete madness are another matter.
