[liberationtech] Hammond Banned from using Cryptography

[ITechGeek]

Depending on your definition, that means no cell/cordless phone use
(cordlesss phones, GSM, & CDMA are technically encrypted), wifi (other then
open wireless access points), ssl, bluetooth, RFID credit/check cards.

Does cable TV count since that signal is encrypted between the cable
company and your cable box (and in most cases is a two way signal to send
back what channel you are watching).  How about satellite TV (Sat signal is
encrypted)

Transit systems are trying to move away from paper farecards and he
wouldn't be able to use any non-paper farecards

Or how about the remote for your car alarm?
