Actually, neither hooks nor encryption are unexportable, you just need a license to export them.

I hope I'm not alone in wondering why on earth this is the case. Ok, exporting cryptography from the USA is restricted, and highly controversial. I think there has been something on this one already. But what is it, in the legal wibble, that make _hooks_ to cryptography restricted. How have they worded things to make this the case. The hooks are of course completely useless in and of themselves. You can only do anything useful with them if you have the matching crypto package.
