Today, the U.S. government classifies all encryption tools as munitions (weapons) and forbids all US citizens from exporting full-strength programs that could help to aid our enemies. Their goal is to prevent private information from getting into the hands of our enemies that may try to use it against us. However, you are allowed to carry personal encryption devices with you, while traveling outside the country. They do require that you leave a copy of your private key with a government agency. P.S. Don't use this an an answer to a college class or you could be charged with plagiarism! :)
