Timing is everything... I happened to be flipping the channels while on the TV in my hotel room Friday evening between 8 and 8:30 when I saw someone wearing the UK crypto shirt on a talk show on French TV3. I know no French. A guy was standing up wearing the shirt, turning around, holding it out for the camera, etc. Someone sitting down was talking about it to the moderator -- I heard words like cryptographique a few times. When the speaker pointed to the "may be illegal in France" part, the guy took the shirt off and the crowd laughed. The segment was about 10 minutes. /r$
