I just have one problem though... If these things are classified as a "munition" aka a "weapon" by da fed's how does that affect us down here in good old Georgia where our legislature has passed a law making it a crime to be in posession of a weapon anywhere within a hundred yards or so of school property.
Strong crypto is considered to be a munition *for purposes of U.S. export controls*. With respect to possession within the U.S., there aren't any laws stopping you from waving strong cryptography around wherever you like (at least, not yet). -Futplex
