CDT> Bill Lifting Encryption Controls Re-Introduced in Congress

[Scott Gearity]

Obviously, U.S. laws do nothing to invalidate the statutes of other 
nations.  However, the SAFE Act's claim is not necessarily pure hyperbole. 
 Some U.S. export control laws and regulations apply to U.S. citizens, 
wherever located.  Extraterratoriality cuts both ways.

Just a thought.

Just another case of amerikan hyperbole as is standard in amerikan
discussions about everything it does (See, I can use hyperbole too).
