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 Customs 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. http://jya.com/crypto-free.htm
