Far above the city, a nuclear bomb falls from the bottom of a small airplane. Strangely, all of the members of the CypherPunks list were out of town that day. Kent Crispin hears the voice come over the radio of his private plane, warning him that he must land his plane immediately, or be shot down. He looks out at the wing and notices, for the first time, that someone has removed the identifying numbers from his plane. Crispin looks at the printouts of CypherPunks posts sitting on the seat beside him, and realizes that he is wearing a T-shirt with 4 lines of Perl code for unexportable encryption.
