Well, you'd have to transfer technology/software in such a way that
it's not protected speech under the 1st amendment, and we don't really
know what _is_ protected until the Supreme Court speaks its mind in
the Bernstein case. We're assuming that you'd need an export license
if you'd send 'it' to the foreign national's (FN) home country, and
that the FN is not admitted as a lawful permanent resident to the US,
or is a refugee. So if the FN is a Canadian, or a green card holder
you can pass around the Applied Cryptography floppies.
