have governments especially worried: the proliferation
of offshore financial centers, the collapse of the

accounts, then used to make payments or deposits
anywhere in the world. All without anyone knowing who
holds the smart card, because encryption guarantees
anonymity.

we can adequately assist our federal law enforcement
counterparts in following the trail of the multinational
money launderer is through our linkages with
multilateral arrangements such as ... [Clipper 3]."
