Let me strongly reiterate that the legality of a U.S. citizen possessing the Swedish Parliament version of the NOTS (SPNOTS) is still in a grey area. My private e-mail from a couple of IP attornies indicates that. If true, it may even violate Federal law to use the U.S. Postal Service to mail the document within the U.S.! The document could also be legally seized at the border or by Customs (though the likelihood is small). Thus, it is important to wait until there's further information -- let's see how RTC plans to handle the one already received by Grady -- that'll indicate the legal status of the SPNOTS in the U.S. But even if it turns out that U.S. law does disallow U.S. citizens from possessing the SPNOTS, that can be used to advantage in Swedish public opinion, and can only help Zenon's case in Sweden. Imagine the Swedish press reporting that a U.S. citizen cannot possess a Swedish public paper, which, to a Swede, is considered a sacred right to be able to do, by their principle of "offentlighetsprincip". I'm seriously considering advocating a Constitutional Amendment be added essentially duplicating Sweden's "offentlighetsprincip" (and even stronger). It's an amazing principle that is one of the strongest I've seen to fight corruption in the Federal government -- it's primary purpose of being in Sweden.
