We've prepared a hyperlinked version of the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) to assist analysis,
evaluation and commentary on interim rules for
encryption export:

It's sobering to study the EAR and see the lethal
weapons to which encryption is wed -- the most
mass-murderous of high-technology calmly described
as commercial warfare for the commonweal.
Ponder the Commerce Control list to see the mayhem
elite minds concoct.

When you consider the censorship-prone mindsets of many of the
private-security-employed cypherpunks, it kinda makes sense, yes?
Think about those Israeli tank rounds, exploding into hundreds of little
steel arrows designed to rip flesh apart, and then analogize to the
possibilities for technically capable encryption users....
