Crypto Informants

[John Young]

According to the New York Times today the US Customs 
Service will be asking businesses to report "suspicious" 
customer requests for a range of threatening technologies, 
including "encryption devices." 

For publication we'd like to hear of examples of similar UK 
government contact about informing on crypto customers 
or about reporting downloads of free crypto if the request 
covers that as well: how the contact was made, the terms 
of the request, whether the reports are to be confidential, 
and any other useful information on broadening crypto 
controls.

Cryptome offers most of versions of free PGP from 2.62
through 7.03 as well as a directory for getting numerous
crypto programs around the globe. No record is kept of
downloads.
