The suggestion of restricting export of lawn chairs to USSR because
they might be used in anti-satellite warfare, is absurd. A lawn chair
has many uses, including lounging out in the pateo or on the lawn.
It's a general-purpose device like a CPU chip that can be used for
both military and non-military purposes (mostly the latter). Hey you
all, let's stop trying to restrict trade of general-purpose devices, ok?
Restrict weapons, not lawn chairs!
