I've wondered for a while if you might make a case for a right to encrypt around the second amendment. If anything encryption seems more relevant today than gun ownership in terms of the second amendment's original reason for being. Nobody could stand up to a modern army with personal firearms, but encryption does allow an individual to limit the power of the government to surveil or persecute them.

Strong encryption used to be classified as munitions under ITAR, so maybe there's some precedent there.
