* Try to get key escrow banned *in general*, instead of just from foreign countries. In smaller countries this will be easier since its doubtful small governments can set up a spook/chip-maker axis to rival the NSA/Mykotronx/VLSI axis in the U.S. In fact probably only the U.S., cooperating major European countries and Japan have such a capability. * Be careful with the wording of the legislation; be sure to specify *key-escrow* and not any other forms of cryptography. This is extremely dangerous. Much of legislation is compromise. Any such bill is probably so close to a bill that outlaws cryptography (or could be interpreted as a precedent for such a bill) that the risks are probably far greater than the rewards. The strategy the Eric Hughes proposed sounds much better.
