It's been done already:

For half a century, Crypto AG, a Swiss company located in Zug, has sold to more than 100 countries the encryption machines their officials rely upon to exchange their most sensitive economic, diplomatic and military messages. Crypto AG was founded in 1952 by the legendary (Russian born) Swedish cryptographer Boris Hagelin. During World War II, Hagelin sold 140,000 of his machine to the US Army.

"In the meantime, the Crypto AG has built up long standing cooperative relations with customers in 130 countries," states a prospectus of the company. The home page of the company Web site says, "Crypto AG is the preferred top-security partner for civilian and military authorities worldwide. Security is our business and will always remain our business."

And for all those years, US eavesdroppers could read these messages without the least difficulty. A decade after the end of WWII, the NSA, also known as No Such Agency, had rigged the Crypto AG machines in various ways according to the targeted countries. It is probably no exaggeration to state that this 20th century version of the "Trojan horse" is quite likely the greatest sting in modern history.

Using strong words only lessens an argument for the weak minded.

Spoken like a true asshole.

You obviously don't own a dog.

The plastic market bags are perfect for cleaning up after the pooch on walks.

If they banned supermarket bags, I'd have to pay for exactly the same thing - with no net gain in recyclables.

I think of this when I consider the whole concept of drones as used to murder inconvenient individuals.

Some day, someone else who does not see you as fully human will have control over the box.

"Applied Cryptography" used exactly this method when crypto algorithms were subject to export controls.

You couldn't export say the source code for DES, but you could include the source code in a book on crypto, as first amendment protections applied.

The first amendment even protected use of an OCR friendly font for the source code.

There were plenty of DoD specifically for ESPers at one point:

I set up a Facebook account for my dog. Female, 5 years old so I figured that was 35 years old in human years. Neutered, so obviously single and never married.

Amazing the number of invites she gets from lesbian singles.

You should take advantage of our amazing free enterprise system and create a counter-game called "Free Market: Chile"

I'm sure the thrilling scenes of political opponents being thrown from helicopters into the Pacific Ocean will take your breath away.

All in the interests of defending freedom of course

HP's stock price would soar - they would have a board member with management skill far above the existing board

Because private corporations by definition can't intimidate people by force, since only people intimidated, beaten up or killed by the evil government lose their freedom.

Being intimidated, beaten up or killed by private corporations doesn't restrict your freedom at all

Iron and Coal Police, a privatized law enforcement entity
Henry Ford's Service Department - which didn't repari customers' cars but beat the crap out of union organizers

Remember, if your are beaten or shot at by a government employee, it is evil tyranny. If you are beaten or shot at by a private security force, you are feeling the pains of FREEDOM.

It is only bad if the government does it.

Unlike Russia, California is a failed socialist state with high taxes and government regulations destroying any capability of supporting modern civilization.

People there are lucky to afford to rub 2 sticks together to make a fire, much less afford a dashcam system on an automobile.
