The problem is, the intent of such action is, most probably, to just fuck with the law (requiring it to solve the task it can't work on, because its from the different realm[1]), not to publish Bill's SSN.
Legal system may try to handle the issue - in this particular case, it's possible to just ignore the primary intent and decide whenever an intent to publish did exist instead - but sometimes it just fails. I think that's, for example, how PGP source code was exported, working around munitions export laws.
