SELinux is a system-level ACL implementation - I wasn't aware it used 
encryption to enforce access control.  You'd have to have something 
like:

  if (user->valid || user->nsa) {
	allow_access();
  }

hiding somewhere.  Of course the guys doing the 2.6 kernel integration 
work could all be driving unexpectedly nice cars. :)
