In fact, Israel's licensing and regulatory regime is probably more extensive than that of the United States. Which means that SecureScape users and investors will be entirely dependent on the good will of the Israeli government. Some may feel that that's better than being dependent on the good will of the U.S. government, but Cipherpunk Heaven it ain't. Stewart Baker
