I find the list of disclaimers users are asked to select on this download page to be rather amusing.

On the other hand, how am I supposed to truthfully check the box labelled "I will not download or otherwise export or re-export the Programs, directly or indirectly, to persons on the above mentioned lists." if I do not know the contents of those lists? For all I know, my co-worker might be a Specially Designated Narcotic Trafficker and is just hiding extremely well.

When I checked in at the Airport the assistant told me, after I had given him my name, that I was flagged on the database. Before I even could utter as much as a "WTF", though, he said something like, oh, it cleared now. Oh well. You may check in over there.

o.O indeed. Either you're there or you're not, no?

Maybe it had you confused with Karim Abdul-Saur, the famous terrorist...

Nah -- I just made up an Arabic-sounding name that was similar to yours. I have no idea whether any such person exists.
