I think this article is related to Clinton's recent decision to loosen
export restrictions on hardware:

I like this quote:

    In a statement on Thursday, Clinton said that maintaining the current
    level of controls "would hurt U.S. exports without benefiting our
    national security." His Commerce Secretary, William M. Daley, held a
    Sony Playstation aloft in the White House press room on Thursday, and
    said that unless the controls were eased, a powerful new version of
    the popular game machine available this Christmas would be classified
    as restricted.

Clearly, we need a crypto-based protduct for christmas.  Maybe
Fisher-Price wants to make a brightly colored secure phone for
toddlers :-)
