Perpetually KYC'd Coins Using Evil Covenants

For the government, it seems strictly worse than using multisig.

The same is true for multisig.

How can KYC be enforced on the receiving end? Anyone with non-covenant bitcoin can freely decide how to spend them, including to a KYC address.

So to register a new address with the government, a government employee would have to carry the address(es) over to the air-gapped device and back? Whatever the process is, it seems no different than an air-gapped process to sign a KYC-multisig.

Instead of running an (airgapped) cosigining sever, they’d have to run an (airgapped) whitelist server.
