Excellent quote contained in the link below...
"We don't give a damn about export policy," FBI
Assistant director James Callstrom said. "We 
care about protecting people domestically, and

Translation: 
"We know we can't stop crypto overseas, we don't 
believe the american people have =any= right to privacy."
