        It also has other uses.  I couldn't refuse to sell every part
        that could possibly be used illegally, or else I wouldn't be
        able to sell anything.  If someone asks me to order them the
        parts on a list they brought in, a list headed "How to Build
        your own Descrambler," I am obligated to refuse the sale.  If
        they tell me, in any way, that they're using these parts to do
        something illegal, then my duty is to refuse the sale.
        As usual, I speak for myself only, not Radio Shack.
