We could some important crypto source code (for example some of the IPv6 IPsec stuff being developed domestically), print it, export it (legally), scan it, and then distribute it overseas. If we repeat this process enough, it will first cause a lot of useful crypto software to be exported legally from the US.
PGP, Inc. is already exporting their source in this fashion.
Then, when the govenrment wants to stop this, they will be forced to place a prior restraint on publication of printed technical pamphlets, which is exactly the restriction they don't want to be stuck defending.
Stewart Baker has been quoted as saying that banned "easily scanned printed texts" isn't far away. (Rebecca Vesely's Wired News article) "National Security is the root password to the Constitution." -- I've forgotten who said this. We are now just one step away from non-GAK crypto being illegal in the US. -- Sameer Parekh Voice: 510-986-8770 President FAX: 510-986-8777 C2Net C2Net is having a party: http://www.c2.net/party/ http://www.c2.net/ sameer@c2.net
