Basically, the United States sucks.

Why is it that overseas decomissioned supercomputers (albeit a rather
small one in this instance) are easy to obtain, but trying to pry one out
of a stateside installation is basically impossible? The government, and
some rather outdated "security" issues have something to do with it.

Damn, I would drive half way across the continent to pick up an older
Cray, ETA, CM, KSR, Maspar, NEC, etc..
