I still have a few of those shirts left (I ate the cost ... along with a few copies of Secret Power). If anyone wants to do this, I will be happy to donate the T-shirt (and be an "arms" supplier). In fact, one of the people who expressed an interest in buying the T-shirt wanted to send one to Dave Letterman (Letterman was hot at the time). Did you ever do it?

Greetings, There are t-shirts out there with both human readable and machine readable (bar code) versions of the RSA in 3 code.... Wear it when boarding an international flight.... They even state that they are a munition and ITAR controlled in BIG letters on the back...
