Adam Back asked for info crypto export news for AU, IE and NZ, which I echo. I recall that Peter Gutmann has a standing request for crypto export info from anywhere. We'd like to host any reports that come in. For those who've not seen it, his report on his bizarre trials is at: http://jya.com/nsazeal.htm And a report on a weirdly similar UK experience by Mike Cobb is at: http://ukeep.htm Documenting the various international experiences is a worthy accompaniment to those of Bernstein, Karn and Junger, and about the only way to expose global GAK at work. It seems to be spreading quietly, implemented case by case, wearing down isolated appliants with evasive procrastination, or promising a one-time approval, using the clock to threaten pending sales.
