Bonus points if the ‘approval’ process exempts them from liability if misused - and there is no actual checking done as part of approval.

to me the greatest damage the trump admin is doing is bringing out corruption in the open.
if there's really one thing that destroys countries is corruption. being originally from a 3rd world country - I have seen it. now the US is heading towards the same path.
having worked in the IOT industry before - I can tell even domestic manufactures will be forced to pay bribes soon cloaked in 'state secrets' - there's already export laws etc - but now they will be forced to pay for compliance e.g maybe donating the president's vanity project.
