Re: Lobbying for Cryptoprivacy, non-U.S.

In smaller countries this will be easier since its doubtful small governments can set up a spook/chip-maker axis to rival the NSA/Mykotronx/VLSI axis in the U.S. In fact probably only the U.S., cooperating major European countries and Japan have such a capability.

what about Canada? or has it been absorbed into the US? :-) Russia probably has the chip-making skills (and, certainly, the spookish ones) to fit, but they probably count as a ``cooperating major European countr[y]'' now.
