Bullshit. There are no laws in the united states restricting the use of cryptography. 256 bit encryption is supported by newer web browsers.
This article also does not mention that SSL is worthless when you choose to accept an invalid certificate, because it it's easy to run a man-in-the-middle attack on SSL, the browser will pop up an error about an invlaid cert, and the luser will click 'accept anyway', and be 0wned.
