   mr. shetye,
   u.s. nationals cannot legally write export-restricted
   cryptographic code while travelling overseas. in fact,
   even coordinating the overseas development of crypto
   code is a possible violation of ITAR. 

Of course, non-US nationals can and have implemented triple DES without 
violating any laws in their own country.  For instance, I believe that the 
triple-DES implementation in the appendix of Schneier was implemented outside 
the U.S.
