Cypherpunks are not the first to take advantage of
jurisdictional arbitrage.
The Australian spys have the American spys perform their
illegal-in-Australia acts for them, and the American spys
have the Australian spys perform their illegal-in-America
acts for them.
I predict you will have some difficulty extraditing an
Australian spy for spying on people in California.
