I believe that what you are saying is completely valid. Our legislators dive into areas without knowing what they are doing, or do they?
The more I think about this, the more I think maybe I shouldn't have written it. I could start a hefty sideline charging $100 to encrypt wireless connections!

I agree that the current law should be effective enough if enforced.
There is no way the government should be allowed to dictate citizen stupidity levels.

I spent years in Washington and believe the problem to be that computer people from federal agencies -- who usually have never worked in the private sector -- are the only "experts" consulted. The solution is simple, but almost impossible to implement: for government people to belong to the same industry standards groups as private sector people. It would also greatly help if computer people in the federal agencies could not advance beyond a certain point without at least some private sector experience. But that one would be almost impossible to sell as government employees typically look down on industry people as untrustworthy.
