Re: So how does the crypto crackdown go?

As Hal knows, but some newer members of the list may not, I discuss the possibility of a ban on strong (unescrowed) crypto at some, ahem, length in http://www.law.miami.edu/~froomkin/articles/clipper.htm Although the article is more than 18 months old, the law hasn't changed in any material way as far as I know. Bottom line: they probably can't do it under the constitution, but it's a closer call than it should be. A.
