United States Fourth Circuit

Defendants, convicted of conspiring and attempting to export Munitions List articles without a license in violation of the Arms Export Control Act, had fair notice that the statutes and regulations proscribed their conduct. Because they failed to offer more than a scintilla of evidence of inducement, they were not entitled to an entrapment instruction.
