A few years ago a client of mine gave me a big-ish APC UPS. I recently got new batteries for it after the outage here in Portugal, and to turn on SSH I had to agree that I was not a terrorist organisation's nor in a country where encryption can not be exported to.

I'm glad it had that. If you were, say, a member of ISIS and used the UPS, they'd be able to successfully sue you for breach.

Don't forget when flying to the USA, ticking the box to say you won't try to overthrow the government.

I'm sure that clause has stopped many an invading army in their tracks.
