Criminal investigation Shortly after its release, PGP encryption found its way outside the United States, and in February 1993 Zimmermann became the formal target of a criminal investigation by the US Government for "munitions export without a license". Cryptosystems using keys larger than 40 bits were then considered munitions within the definition of the US export regulations; PGP has never used keys smaller than 128 bits so it qualified at that time. Penalties for violation, if found guilty, were substantial. After several years, the investigation of Zimmermann was closed without filing criminal charges against him or anyone else.

Zimmerman? Any relation to george? Conspiracy? Wtf? i remember this but forgot the name..
And hmm......sounds like fascism...
Nope it is easy to think that way. No country is stupid and invade another country based on 'espionage' or selling secret technology (Otherwise I'm sure the entire world would pounce on China all at once for stealing patended technologies )
