No provider has crypto pattern matchers on their routers, and I don't expect to see it in my lifetime (I plan on that being a long time also..).
I don't support breaking export laws, but something that will work is that if everyone writes a letter, sends it to their local political reps (Someone should write one, post it in postscript, .txt and other formats for easy printing by others, and you write your name at the top and bottom you sign, and mail it to them). If enough people petition the government to get rid of this law, I don't expect it to stick around for long. The fire underneath them hasn't gotten warm enough, get some kindling and throw it under them.
Enough offtopic discussion, If folks want it, we can set up a list to discuss it if there aren't any already.
