According to the new Minister of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, Egypt's antiquities are now safe. See

I'm sure this welcome news will leave those in the archaeological community already clamoring for "emergency import restrictions" on Egyptian cultural artifacts somewhat befuddled. See

If there is no longer an emergency, I guess such restrictions are not needed after all.
