Thanks, Simon.

It=E2=80=99s bad enough that TSA can block incoming printed circuit =
assemblies arbitrarily for extended periods of time without any =
prediction of when they=E2=80=99ll be released. Now we have to deal with =
tariffs as well as the potential for delays.

I designed a product that was manufactured in Texas (and sold in =
reasonably large quantities in Australia among other countries) where =
there was a long delay created by TSA. It wasn=E2=80=99t even the first =
batch of pcbs. No idea why it was held up.

People don=E2=80=99t realize how hard it is to manufacture in the United =
States. I=E2=80=99m sure other countries have their share of hurdles.
