Should kids have crypto? [weapons]

Your analogy fails when I consider the simple point that crypto is not a weapon in and of itself, no matter what the misguided ITAR says. "... two plus two make five ..."

Under Itar crypto is a weapon. If a kid were to bring a disk containing pgp to school could they be expelled for carrying a weapon?

No, because crypto, *by itself* does NOT present a threat to any other kid or to any teacher or to the kid carrying the code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMfZR5hguzHDTdpL5AQHqsgP5AcEWBP0SeGCWwgOKGgDVuzz4yJRXk218 lSepjhxa+OnK6Aw5Gxk/+ykJAZM++VPH4LKR3ztRP5X3CJMC8zJ+f4qatmqzRptU yKagSL8yF2/xN9ltwJcl6T3F4f88LJKD0vDpp4M+FeIX90zDosxPl0TYYv3niG2u v2ePUFTwWKI= =IlGz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
