People are bringing in British armor all the time. Western Resources in TN,
Earl Tucker, Lots of folks. In May I brought over a CVR(T) Striker.
Paperwork, Form 6, etc. was no problem. The only thing 9/11 did was tighten
the inspections, it didn't eliminate vehicles. SME/US stuff is another story
and has always been another story...
