If y'all don't mind a bit of OT commentary.

One line of thought is that the SSSCA applies specifically to an
implementation of security technology that *has* been invented.  The law
conveniently absolves the inventer from anti-trust liabilities as well.

That is, the law is aimed squarely at declaring Microsoft .NET,
Hailstorm, and Passport, the one legal standard in computing within the
US.  The prospect is a bit stretched, but it seems to fit the facts.
