It was Sweden. They didn't really have an excuse - over a year earlier, Lotus announced their "International" version with details of the "Work Factor Reduction Field" at the RSA Conference. I immediately invented the term 'espionage enabled' to describe this feature, a term which has entered the crypto lexicon. Indeed so, yes - If my memory isn't failing me though, their "excuse" was that the lotus salesdroid they had awarded the contract to hadn't disclosed it to them in his bid and in fact, the original tender had specified *secure* encryption, not *secure, except for the american spy industry*. I don't know enough sweedish to even attempt a google on it
