| IIRC Johansen isn't an American, and they jailed him...

He's a Norwegian.  He was not jailed - however, he was interrogated at
the police station, and his computer equipment was confiscated.  This
really didn't have _anything_ to with any American laws.  He was
interrogated because he might have broken Norwegian law - breaking a
crypto system and then distributing one's findings might not be
legal, even though it's legal to crack the system for one's own use.
