On Tuesday my colleague in our London Office, Anita Esslinger, forwarded to me a directive from British export authorities adding &#8220;electro-statically powered explosive detectors&#8221; to its list of export-controlled items, otherwise known as the 2008 Export Control Order.  Anita wondered if the U.S. was planning on doing the same thing.  I [...]]]></description>
