That's pretty vague terminology. Is piping a message through pgp on your
system with '|' illegal? What if you build the hooks for use with a weak
version of PGP, but someone substitutes in a strong one?
"Hooks" could even mean any source at all, instead of just binaries.
I don't think it's your terminology, but it is confusing. And that's part
of the point - it's better to make vague and scary laws than concrete ones
which can't be upheld in court. Let the people handicap themselves.
