Do you think there could be a passthrough service for people to send raw transactions (made offline) via postalmail/skype/tor/twitter and then be transmitted on the network? Would be nice for countries that block internet during unrest etc.

Anything that can take a rawtx printed in some standard font (preferably one optimized for OCR) and printed on paper, accept it into a scanner and dump it straight to https://blockchain.info/pushtx would do fine.  An automated system could even feed the paper itself directly into a shredder afterwards.

Or something ugly like this;

Thousands of them generated by your wallet dynamically and encrypted for immediate distribution face to face, unlockable on receipt of transmission; the dynamic constrution of an off chain mini network. I believe adam back has already devised a method somewhere here on the forum.
