I don't think the man or woman on the street managing the customer face to face is entirely at fault here - they had a horrible miscommunication from the top down.


DHS really doesn't do the Sanctions Programs though. It comes from the Secretary of State and is basically managed by Customs and US Border Protection. They actually have the Sanctions list (hard sanctions), sanctions programs (high level - example Counter Narcotics Trafficking Sanctions) and then the 'countries' US Border and Protection 'watch out for' whem you export - about 45.

Customs fines/gets the conviction on things of this nature under the umbrella of S.O.S.

Sorry to be clinical . . . I'm just disgusted with our behavior. Again - not at just Apple -but industry wide.

Between the "The Wireless Companies throw their customers under the bus memo" in terms of records and whereabouts without warrants - and this . . .

We are batting zero this month.
