Correct, but it doesn't mean they wouldn't find a way to "regulate" encryption and registration of the algos/etc.

People just find ways around to do something, the US government will just make up more rules and laws. Its a never ending battle. This is why we have so many worthless laws out there that mean absolutely nothing.
