These countries work like this:

export
- oil (only), nothing else. (while it lasts)

import
- everything (educated people, workers, hq goods, medical people.... everything!)

why?
- because they are rich and lazy as fuck
The Arabs also buy lots of properties and businesses overseas. Plus lend money to countries like the US. They know when the oil runs out they will need some bargaining power. Will the West grab it all back?

As for this law. It's pointless unless they just don't like big DSLR's whose to tell the difference from an image on a SLR or a good small camera?
