I remember reading some where a year or 2 ago that DLA "Scrap" sold to foreign countries had been found to contain functional stuff that SHOULD NOT have been exported, such as aircraft and missile parts, that while they were out of spec/expired whatever, were still usable and COULD have been, possibly were, resold to 3rd parties such as Iran, who have no legitamate sources for their American made equipment such as F 14's.
