Big Brother and Computer Security

The United States government sometimes seems to make laws for the sake of making laws or simply to justify their existence. Often laws are created where laws already exist in an attempt to look proactive against threats or conditions that are difficult or impossible to police or prosecute. But, there are also certainly areas where some federal oversight is appreciated and the Internet has become so engrained in daily commerce and in the national infrastructure that it may very well be one of those areas. For a look at various articles highlighting legislation or various attempts at legislation check out Big Brother and Computer Security.
