It is.  The book is available under the creative common license.  Rules for ITAR and security procedures where ridiculous candidates are treated guilty until proven innocent kill the system.  The calculation is explained beautifully by Doctorow in his "false positives" section.

I read a couple of chapters after pdf download and then bought the hardback to provide support (and I love books).

If anyone's interested, the complete text appears to be available from Cory on the Web:

I assume this is the work you are referring to...  Haven't read past the introduction, but it looks interesting.
