Just to make it more interesting, the AG of New York, Elliot Spitzer
has introduced a  package of legislation intended to "rein in identity theft"
including:

  Facilitating prosecutions against computer hackers by creating
  specific criminal penalties for the use of encryption to conceal
  a crime, to conceal the identity of another person who commits
  a crime, or to disrupt the normal operation of a computer;

I'm hoping this was a trial balloon.
