Why, they'd arrest his ass, probably at the urging of whichever 
company elcomsoft has pissed off today.
(Hey, that's a neat catchphrase..
"Elcomsoft, which company do you want to piss off today?!"
Hmm, nah, it needs a little work.
Maybe "Elcomsoft, pissing off <insert company here> since <date 
of password cracker release>"(tm, of course)

Hmm, will Elcomsoft continue making programs that may be illegal in 
the US or not? (And just make sure not to visit there, of course)
