Preach on. Ban clueless legislators not tools. Would it be nice for the government to help out the sys admins... sure. Are they even remotely capable NO! The best thing they can do is undo the damage they have done. Realistically the only way to fairly and competently regulate technical issues is to have a governing body of technically savvy individuals that is not appointed by industry. If legislators can't deal with a hands off approach let them create a congress of IT people, elected by IT people, to deal with IT issues.
