Your bio says: "Aside from living on a Caribbean island during crypto export controlled 1990s, I've lived on a tiny artificial platform in the North Sea, plus more reasonable places like London, Amsterdam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and spent 6 months diving in Thailand."

So you've moved around a lot. But you want to make it harder for others to do so. It seems to me that you think you are better than others with your desire for a point based system. And your felon policy, should have made it hard for you to move around, given that you claim to have illegally exported crypto ;)

I never broke ITAR -- I strictly complied with it.

That doesn't make it any less absurd for you to have some kind of hatred of anyone who is a felon. You obviously think some laws are wrong given that you explicitly moved overseas to get around them. And you are a hairs width from not having complied, indeed, I think that a reasonable court could have convicted you (did you use knowledge that you gained in the US to help you write crypto?).
