The homeland security & US Patents Administration keeps us in the dark
Purposely for security reasons (or otherwise bluntly said for keeping the power) the USA authorities keeps A LOT of the technological inovation from reacing the consumer.
I accidentally stumbled upon a huge list of hi-tech inovations that are prohibited from being somehow exported from US.
Waait a minute, but those technologies ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO EXIST. Then WTF are they prohibiting the export for?!
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF...

a.5.a. “Real time processing” of acoustic data from sonar systems controlled by 6A001.a.1.e; and a.5.b. Automatically detecting, classifying and determining the location of divers or swimmers; N.B.: For diver detection “software” or “source code”, “specially designed” or modified for military use, see the U.S. Munitions List of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR part 121). b. Optical sensors. None.
CAMERAS c. “Software” designed or modified for cameras incorporating “focal plane arrays” specified by 6A002.a.3.f and designed or modified to remove a frame rate restriction and allow the camera to exceed the frame rate specified in 6A003.b.4 Note 3.a;
OPTICS d. “Software” specially designed to maintain the alignment and phasing of segmented mirror systems consisting of mirror segments having a diameter or major axis length equal to or larger than 1 m; e. Lasers. None.

f. “Software” as follows: f.1. “Software” “specially designed” for magnetic and electric field “compensation systems” for magnetic sensors designed to operate on mobile platforms; f.2. “Software” “specially designed” for magnetic and electric field anomaly detection on mobile platforms; f.3. “Software” “specially designed” for “real time processing” of electromagnetic data using underwater electromagnetic receivers specified by 6A006.e; f.4. “Source code” for “real time processing” of electromagnetic data using underwater electromagnetic receivers specified by 6A006.e;
GRAVIMETERS g. “Software” “specially designed” to correct motional influences of gravity meters or gravity gradiometers;
RADAR h. “Software” as follows: h.1. Air Traffic Control (ATC) “software” application “programs” designed to be hosted on general purpose computers located at Air Traffic Control centers and capable of accepting radar target data from more than four primary radars; h.2. “Software” for the design or “production” of radomes and having all of the following: h.2.a. “Specially designed” to protect the “electronically steerable phased array antennae” controlled by 6A008.e.; and h.2.b. Resulting in an antenna pattern having an ‘average side lobe level’ more than 40 dB below the peak of the main beam level. Technical Note: ‘Average side lobe level’ in 6D003.h.2.b is measured over the entire array excluding the angular extent of the main beam and the first two side lobes on either side of the main beam.
Here is one o the complete lists: https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/documents/regulations-docs/federal-register-notices/federal-register-2014/952-ccl6/file The level of "prohibited" detail is astonishing!
Can you even imagine what is the US capable with all this "non-existent on the market but still prohibited from export" technology? Can you even imagine the impact on privacy?
What privacy?!
