Notice how the information about the SSSCA says it is still in draft, and has not yet been submitted to the houses for consideration. You can find more information about the upcoming Security Systems Standards and Certification Act at any of these locations: http://cryptome.org/sssca http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=01/09/20/2047211&mode=thread http://www.osopinion.com/perl/story/13542.html http://www2.linuxjournal.com/articles/conversations/0034.html http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-09-11-011-20-OP-HW-SW http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,46655,00.html I am afraid it is very, very real. :-( (I have no idea about the money being thrown around; most of that stuff is done quietly, because it is un-ethical and arguably illegal.
