Reminds me of the the Munition T-Shirt that protested the (frankly stupid) 
encryption export laws in the US. (By the way, those are partially still in place...)

=> http://www.cypherspace.org/adam/shirt/uk-shirt.html The munition T-shirt

tl;dr the shirt had a 3 line implementation of the RSA algorithm on it as 
a Perl one-liner and a machine readable barcode representing that same 
program. Technically, under the law at the time (circa 1996), that made 
the shirt a "munition". No, I'm not kidding and yes it was stupid. If you 
tried to sell that shirt outside of the US or even simply showed it to a 
'foreign national', you could be jailed for up to 10 years and/or fined up to $1,000,000.

It would be neat to have some sort of shirt that had a machine-readable 
minimal gemini server (or client) printed on it, but I think the TLS 
requirement would make that nearly impossible (max bytes for a QR code is ~4k).
