"Excuse me NSA, can I have export approval for one KG-530 SDH 
encryptor?" What are the odds :-)

And how would we know that the "export model" isn't simply 
providing a more convenient backdoor for the NSA?

That's why I'm trying to follow up on the original question.  Is
there something similar the global public can use to secure their
connections that is not government designed.  This is even more 
important on microwave shots when security is desired.
