I love today's xkcd.

It's still illegal to export some encryption material.   Dude, ITAR is a mess that most people aren't aware exists.

IIRC, there use to be T-shirts for sale with a small implementation of a popular encryption algorithm written in C.  Technically, it would be illegal to wear said T-shirt out of the country, or even to send a photograph of the shirt out of the country.

I remember that shirt.  I think it said "This t-shirt is a munition" or words to that effect.
