I’ve worked in an ITAR industry. This topic isn’t about intelligence data :)

I work in aerospace. You'd be surprised at the triviality of what data gets covered under ITAR and security classifications.

This is common anywhere you work with ITAR-controlled data.

ITAR is surprisingly broad. It covers a lot of stuff that no one cares is restricted, but that just gets ignored.

I get the strong sense you understand neither ITAR nor this article. Good luck!

Ever dealt with stuff beholden to ITAR? Asking for reasons I mentioned in my own post in this thread.

I don't even know what ITAR is, so no.

Careful, you’re treading in ITAR territory.

ITAR not just DOD.

ITAR is not limited to just Americans. I work with ITAR materials and am not an American (working in Europe)

Wow, please tell us more. What did they work on? Are those technologies ITAR restricted?

ITAR is a bit different.

oostevo | karma 436 | avg karma 3.46 · | 2011-12-22 04:06:15+00:00

There are some places where ITAR makes sense, even if it does overreach in areas like encryption or model rocketry.

For example, I'd argue that it's a positive thing that Lockheed couldn't sell F-22s to [insert violent autocrat of the month] without some very significant reviews.

Agree, I also worked under ITAR restrictions in the launch industry.

ITAR is a perpetual concern for people working in that field. It leads to a lot of grim jokes, but also, presumably, a lot of self-censorship.

ISL | karma 20249 | avg karma 5.04 · | 2022-11-13 07:36:51

It need not be classified to fall under ITAR.

api | karma 31631 | avg karma 2.2 · | 2023-11-06 15:49:01

That can happen in a lot of areas, but not cutting edge aerospace. There you're in ITAR land.

chillacy | karma 4644 | avg karma 1.69 · | 2019-06-15 15:04:16

At least for military stuff, not consumer. ITAR is a thing still.

hef19898 | karma 16236 | avg karma 1.77 · | 2023-10-17 10:12:41

That's not what ITAR says so.

Canadian software engineer here, would be interested to hear more but if you're US based ITAR may be a problem. Email is in profile.
