Texas and Massachussetts are contemplating legislation that would essentially make firewalls, NAT, encryption and tunnelling illegal.
That's what happens when you let political science majors make technology policy.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it's stupid. On the other, you have no idea how hard it is to do network modeling in the presence of NAT. It's a horror, a horror I tell you! Not even IPv6 will put an end to this nightmare. Maybe if the bill outlawed only NAT...
