Re: Cryptography is a weapon
That was nothing but security theater, and everybody knew it.
A far better example is Bruce Schneier's "Applied Cryptography" book, my copy of which includs source code examples both in the text (which did not fall under the export restrictions) and in the CD, which was bound into the cover (and very definitely did fall under those restrictions). From daft people come daft laws. Do you vote? For daft people? Are you sure?
